ABSTRACT: The activities of the
professionals working on cartographic products have been highlighted especially
in recent years. The history, the concepts and categories of cartography cannot
be neglected in using this type of tool since the use of elements that make a
cartographic product, as an example: map, chart, plan, globe, and a scale model
should be used since the unawareness of techniques of cartography and the
absence of the components of a map may hinder the understanding of what is
intended to represent cartographically. This text is a contribution to the
discussion of advances in cartography including errors and absence of maps,
including a brief discussion of the characteristics of cartographic language
nowadays and the search for perfection in cartography.
