- 6. Make beautiful maps with more precision, speed, and style than ever.
- 7. Defining Cartography Cartography is both the science and the art of visually representing geographical data. It promotes a better understanding of our data, and ultimately, data-driven business decisions.
- 8. Spatial data can be difficult to manage. Itʼs scattered all over, itʼs full of errors, itʼs in different formats, itʼs trapped in old programs.
- 9. Poll How much of your time is spent mapping data?

- 28. This is our source data: How can FME help? Regardless of format, FME can easily read, reproject, and write the data to eps for use in Illustrator (or any other system).
- 29. This is our source data: How can FME help? Regardless of format, FME can easily read, reproject, and write the data to eps for use in Illustrator (or any other system). But the direct results are not especially good. The data is not ideal for Illustrator. It has “aggregate” objects and too many vertices.

- 31. How can FME help? FME easily solves those problems with some simple transformers. We add more data, apply a basic colour, and the results are a good base to work with in Illustrator.

- 35. WE OFTEN HAVE TO MAKE A LOT OF MAPS IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME
- 36. Which is great! We love making maps!
- 37. BUT… MAKING A LOT OF MAPS CAN TAKE A LOT OF TIME AND CAN BE VERY TEDIOUS
- 38. Automating the mapping process is great but… We don’t want to sacrifice quality!
- 41. Demo Introduction The Goal We need to produce a large number of maps. All the same style but different areas. The Obstacles This is a tedious process, which has a high risk of human errors The Solution The combination of MAPublisher and FME, through the FME Auto plugin The Result The repetitive tasks have been automated, per map processing time is “a couple of seconds”
- 42. Demo
- 43. Tips & Tricks Not everything can be automated, but thatʼs okay! Automate the parts that are tedious and repetitive and therefore error-prone Save time for the artistic, fun, parts of cartography!
- 44. The power of automation to achieve faster map production
- 45. Demo
- 46. Don’t waste the value of your data by keeping it stuck.
