    Post We got some...

    We've got some urban planner types and civil engineers who are members here. To me most modern cartographers are really database users, CAD operators - more and more of the work are generated by computers using GIS and satelite data. Except for those working on urban planning, or those working for National Geographic, true cartographers are almost extinct. The GIS field is shrinking, not growing.

    I'm glad I am a fantasy cartographer, and not the real thing...

    PS: although I've mentioned on past threads that I do get to restore 19th century maps from time to time, as part of my daytime graphics design business - so I do get involved in realworld maps, but rarely so.
