The primary function of digital mapping is to provide an accurate representation of a particular area with the major roadways and other points of interest. This technology simplifies the distance calculation from one place to another. Digital mapping is widely used in various computer applications like Global positioning system, GPS Satellite network, standard automotive navigation system, etc.

Origin of Digital Mapping

At the beginning of the 1960s, researchers from the field of cartographic communication started researching digital mapping with the great influence of Cartography. By adopting this new technology, researchers started getting huge descriptions with crude output. It mainly used as a tool to create a map easily by the cartographer. In the 1980’s the view of computer changes and Computer mapping software begins to incorporate into interactive form, it turns into animated using cartography, which is not possible using the printed map.

Advantages of Digital Mapping
