The art and science of expressing graphically, usually through maps, the natural and social features of the earth. Used for: Custom Mapping

Cartography or mapmaking (in Greek chartis = map and graphein = write) is the study and practice of making maps or globes.

A fundamental concept of ergonomic design, mapping means that a control's operation flows logically from its function. For example, if buttons for up and down are needed, they should be arranged vertically, not horizontally, so the operator knows intuitively which is which.
