They compile large quantities of data found in visual images, and represent the areas under study in the form of maps. One of the major applications of their work is in GPS and Google earth using Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System.
Cartographers are employed for systematic planning of towns and districts. In this work they incorporate their knowledge of soil, climate, natural resources and the environment.
Cartographers also work to trace the variations in the weather. This data is employed to predict future disasters and developing strategies to manage them.
Cartographers also work with construction companies as essential members to help identify lands suitable for construction, taking account of the area, it’s climate, and the environment.
