Many of you did as the number of entries for the 2015 Awards is almost double that of last year. All the publicity, particularly on social media has paid dividends with entries coming in from all over the world. The judges are certainly going to be made to work hard this year in order to decide on the winning entries. Judging will take place over the next few weeks and the winners will be announced at the Annual Gala Dinner at the joint BCS/SoC Conference in September. We hope that as many as possible of the winners and runners up will be able to join us to celebrate excellence in Cartography. The programme for the Conference is virtually finalised and publicity will be appearing very shortly via the SoC website and through printed brochures which will be available at Events in May and June. BCS will have an exhibition stand at the ESRI UK Conference on 19th May and at GeoBusiness on 27th and 28th May, so if you are attending these events, please come along and visit the BCS stand. The latest issue of Maplines has just been published and inside you will find nomination forms for BCS Council. If you have ever thought of standing for Council then please do speak to one of the current members Council as we are keen to involve as many people as possible in the running of the Society and new faces are always welcome.<br /><br />We will also be looking for a new Administrative Consultant to start in October as the current incumbent, Roger Hore, has indicated that he will be standing down after six years. Full details of the role will appear on the BCS website shortly, so please do pass on the details to anyone you know who might be interested.<br /><br /><u>Cartography on the Internet</u><br /><br /> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One BCS Award this year that hasn’t yet closed is the Google Award for Mapping of the General Election Result. I recently heard Danny Dorling speak at SOAS about mapping election results and there are also some useful hints and tips in an article at http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-04/23/general-election-2015-maps, so it might be worth reading it to get some hints and tips before you submit your entry.<br /><br />It’s certainly been true in a military context, but The Guardian recently highlighted other sorts of battles where mapping is critical. Under the headline of “No battle can be fought without a map”, they highlight the role that mapping is playing on countering land grabs, deforestation, pollution and the rush for mineral exploitation. The amount of material now being used to counter these activities has now come to fruition in a new atlas. The Environmental Justice Atlas is an atlas of environmental struggles across the world. It includes land wars in India, anti-mining activities in Latin America, a legal fight against oil pollution in the Amazon and park protests in Bosnia and Herzegovina. So far, the atlas documents 1,400 conflicts, but this will grow as more information comes in about areas that are little reported on.</span><br />

<br /><br />The BCS prides itself on being a very inclusive Society and draws its membership from a diverse base. There is possibly a perception that Cartography in the modern era, with a preponderance of technology, is becoming more male dominated. It would be interesting to get figures on the split between male and female in the industry. The Osher Library exhibition certainly seems to think that the role of women has been underplayed and has an exhibition running from March through to October entitled ‘Women in Cartography’. http://oshermaps.org/exhibitions/women-in-cartography To quote its publicity “This exhibition recognizes and celebrates the long overlooked role of women in the world of mapping; bringing their stories, accomplishments, and most importantly their maps to light.” Located at the University of South Maine, I’m afraid it may be a bit too far for a Map Curators Group visit.<br /><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Most of it has probably been said before, but the article on unmapped places in the world on the BBC website does highlight some of the less well known examples and stresses that even in the days of the ubiquitous internet we still struggle to keep up with the pace of change happening on a global scale. Climate change, urbanisation and natural disasters such as the recent earthquake in Nepal all conspire to make the work of the map maker never-ending. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20141127-the-last-unmapped-places.<br /><br /> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On a similar vein, I wrote about the Missing Maps project a couple of months ago. Engineering consultancy firm, Arup has now signed up to support this initiative working with Médicins Sans Frontières, and the British and American Red Cross, to digitally map the most vulnerable places in the developing world. http://www.imeche.org/news/engineering/arup-backs-digital-cartography-project-10041509 If we think of vulnerable places, then Nepal will be in the forefront of our minds at the moment. This must be one of the most well mapped and recorded natural disasters of recent years with social media very much to the fore in providing information that is being used extensively by the rescue and aid agencies. Twitter has been almost overwhelmed by the number of sources of information being posted by organisations around the world. Given its relative isolation Nepal is surprisingly well mapped at 1:25,000 and smaller, but a huge amount of update information has been provide by Open Street Map, drone imagery and organisations like MapAction who have deployed to the worst hit areas.<br /><br />One potential consequence is that we may have to consider the topic for Restless Earth. Since 2011 we have concentrated on the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, but such is the severity of this incident that we may move to something that is more recent and provides some very different challenges to the mapmaker than did the disaster in Japan.<br /><br /><u>Maptime</u><br /><br />BCS is supporting the Maptime initiative in the UK. The concept started in the US, where people interested in making maps would gather informally with their own laptops and software to learn about making maps digitally, using different software packages and applications and sharing knowledge. There are now two groups in the UK, one in West London and one in Southampton, each meeting on a regular basis. Both of them are on Twitter under Maptime West London and Maptime Southampton. You may like to set up a group in another part of the UK. I do know that the West London group are planning to enter the Google Election Mapping Award, either as a group or individually, so Southampton consider the gauntlet thrown down. If you are planning on entering the Google Award entries close on 30th June, not 31st May as it says in ‘Notes from our President’ in Maplines.<br /><br /><u>And Finally…</u></span><br />

Known as ‘Strata Smith’ and ‘the Father of Geology’, Smith’s map is one of those truly iconic items in cartography. It is a ‘First’ that has set the standard for what has followed over the subsequent 200 years. A work of beauty, as well as being ground-breaking in the field of geology, the map has very much survived the test of time and has now been given a very modern twist on its own William Smith Bicentennial website www.strata-smith.com, where you can view an interactive 3D model that combines Smith’s original cartography with both modern cartography and technology. His accuracy, given the rudimentary tools of the day, takes your breath away. As Sir David mentioned, "<i>Thinking in three dimensions is a remarkable ability. I know because I haven't got it</i>."<br /><br />This year also sees the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo and the 600th Anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt as well as several centenary commemorations for battles of the First World War. The Historical Military Mapping Group of the BCS is heading across the Channel in April to visit Amiens and some of the venues in northern France that still evoke so many memories. Over 30 people have signed up and convener John Peaty is still looking for help in running this Special Interest Group.<br /><br />The selection of papers and workshops for the BCS Symposium in York has now been made and the programme will be published shortly, with details available on the BCS website. We had a very good level of submissions this year covering a wide range of topics and hopefully there will be something of interest for everyone. As this is the March bulletin and the last one before the Awards close here is one final reminder that the usual BCS Awards close at the end of April and if you are planning on submitting an entry then time is running out. Full details of the Awards and how to enter for them are on the website, http://www.cartography.org.uk/default.asp?contentID=579. Now why did I say “usual”? If you have been following our twitter feeds, especially @Mappooch, the Awards Officer, you will already have spotted that we will be presenting a one-off Award this year sponsored by Google. The UK General Election is one of the most mapped events in the political calendar and with what promises to be a very closely contested and complicated election, just how well will these maps convey the final outcome? Well, now is your chance to impress the judges by producing a map of the General Election Result. Whilst paper maps are eligible for submission, preference will be given to online mapping with an emphasis on clarity and accuracy, with a deadline for submission of 30th June. Full details may be found in the Awards section on the website.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There have been several articles in the press recently about driverless cars, with most correspondents expressing concerns over safety on the road. One major implication of this technology was highlighted in a recent article in The Washington Post, the fact that the navigation systems for these cars will have to be much more accurate than those on current sat navs. The maps that appear on smart phones and sat navs are designed in part to replicate their paper equivalent and give the driver an easily recognisable symbolic representation of the real world. When the driver has been taken out of the equation to a large extent, and the car is doing the navigating as well as the driving, then directions and distances will be need to be much more accurate. Complex junctions will need to be mapped in far greater deal in order that we don’t have carnage on the roads. The technology of driverless cars for the mass market is still some way off but the mapping world will need to keep pace if it does become a reality http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/09/what-maps-will-look-like-when-we-need-cars-to-read-them/.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The New London Architecture (NLA) galleries at The Building Centre in Store Street, London is going to be worth a visit at some point in the future to see the 3D Map of London that has been commissioned by New London Architecture and sponsored by OS. A combination of OS data and 3D modelling of the London skyline has created an interactive experience involving projection systems, son et lumière displays, and one touch, tablet technology that will bring London’s development story to life. Anything that can be mapped or animated can be overlaid onto the physical model – ranging from underground lines, geographic areas or features, historic growth and boundaries, to people movements and clusters of buildings http://ow.ly/K8AhV.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we compare the relative size of items we try to use easily recognizable base measures. So ‘five times the size of a football pitch’ is something that most people, especially football fans will be able to relate to. For some reason, when it come to countries the comparison ‘x times the size of Wales’ is often used, although I must admit that my mental map of the precise size of Wales is not that well developed. Another way of comparing relative sizes is to make a composite and this has been used successfully to show just how big Africa is, by how many other countries can fit inside its outline. A new take on this is US States and their equivalent Country by area, a simple but very effective illustration</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://twitter.com/BSB Humanities/status/575911491716661249/photo/1.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Size comparisons ‘off planet’ are even more intriguing and comprise some of the examples in ‘40 maps that explain outer space’ by Joseph Stromberg. It is a mix of maps and infographics that illustrate very clearly the huge distances we sometimes fail to get to grips with and the fact that the Earth is a very small element of our solar system. I particularly like number 25 in the series and number 40 made me stop and think http://egu.eu/5QMXP0.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place names can be fraught with issues for the map maker especially in areas of contested territory where to use one form of name implies legitimacy for a particular claimant. But there is also the lighter side and the example that was recently featured shows a sense of humour and, as the article says, ‘a typically passive-aggressive Canadian way of giving someone the finger’. I also heard on the radio at the weekend that the England football starting 11 against Italy last week all had a town that is the same as their surname in the US. http://io9.com/the-historical-snub-hidden-in-canadas-map-1691972438.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A 400 year old tapestry map of Worcestershire is being prepared for display at the new Weston Library in Oxford. The University of Oxford's Weston Library opened on 21st March as a new model for research libraries worldwide and the public showcase for Bodleian treasures. The map was made in the 1590s for a landowner called Ralph Sheldon, whose own grand house at Weston, near Long Compton, bristling with towers and Tudor chimneys, is represented as the size of a small town. It has been in the Bodleian, part of one of the largest map collections in the world, since it was bequeathed in 1809 with a companion map of Oxfordshire to keep it company.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Bodleian has been desperately short of space since it opened its doors in 1602, and never had a wall big enough to display the map. It therefore spent a century in store in Oxford, and then another century in borrowed storage space at the V&A in London. Now it finally gets to see the light of day again http://gu.com/p/46ztn.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Featured in Maplines a little while ago, Bellerby Globemakers has now made the next step up to the Mail Online and BBC’s The One Show. As a bowling alley boss I guess there is some similarity between the bowling balls and globes, but it was a big leap for Peter Bellerby moving from managing a bowling alley to starting his own globe company. Based in Stoke Newington and using similar technology to Formula 1 for some elements, the business produces hand-crafted globes that sell around the world. However, Bellerby's maps are alterations of other cartographers' works for the entrepreneur says he simply has neither the staff nor the time to run a cartography business too, but the decorations on his globes have made them highly desirable http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2461456/Bellerby--Co-globemakers-Amazing-hand-globes-worth-59-000-Britain.html.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The longest standing of our Special Interest Groups and frequently holding the most well attended events is the Map Curators’ Group or MCG as it is generally known. The Group is for librarians, curators, map historians and map collectors. A newsletter, Cartographiti, is issued up to 4 times a year; an annual workshop and specialist visit is arranged in September to run alongside the main BCS Symposium. Despite the reduction in the number of University map libraries the group remains very relevant in today’s digital age and has held workshops on topics that cover the whole range of library holdings, how to look after collections and what the implications of the digital age are for map libraries and collections. The convener is Ann Sutherland who was granted Honorary Fellowship of the Society in recognition of her huge contribution as Convener of the group for longer than I have been a member of BCS. A biennial event is The Helen Wallis lecture, delivered as part of the BCS symposium.</span><br />

The “Call for Contributions” has been issued and closes on 20th March. We have called it a “Call for Contributions” rather than a “Call for Papers” as we are looking for a variety of formats this year. If you have a Paper that you would like to propose then we would love to hear from you or, equally, if you would like to run a more interactive Workshop, then please submit your proposal via http://www.soc.org.uk/socbcs2015/. The topics for this year are:<br />· Neo-Cartography<br />· 3D Mapping<br />· Mapping Yorkshire<br />· Military Mapping<br />· OpenSource Projects<br />· Maps on Apps<br />· Hand drawn maps<br />· Planning for Change (Transport, Urban, Green)<br />· An Open Category – “What’s New” – anything else mappy, new and innovative</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />A very important element of the BCS Symposium is the Annual Awards Ceremony, which is part of the Gala Dinner celebrations. These Awards recognise excellence in cartography in all its forms ranging from traditional paper maps to mapping apps on smartphones. Entries are open until 30th April, so if you have produced a great map since 1st May 2014 then please submit it for the Awards and if you have seen a great looking map then please encourage the producer to send it in. We accept entries from all over the globe as long as they have been produced in the last 12 months – for full details of the Awards, the Rules (Updated Rules for the John C Bartholomew Award) and how to enter, please visit http://www.cartography.org.uk/default.asp?contentID=579. Last year the overall BCS Award winner was showcased in Stanfords window in London, so if you would like to see your map there as well then you only have a few weeks left to enter.</span><br />

Lavishly illustrated, it stretches from documents containing maps produced by ancient civilisations all the way through to the modern day. One of my favourites is the oval map of the battle of Gettysburg. Clear and simple, despite being a static representation of a battle that raged over three days, it manages to convey the terrain that was to play such a key role in the outcome:<br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-30840318</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">shortly afterwards about its “resurrection”. Recent press reports confirm that sales of OS paper maps have risen recently with 2014 figures showing sales up by 3%. A few thousand miles away in Cuba, the paper map is very much alive and well. With a growing tourist industry, designer Stephan Van Dam has designed paper maps specifically with the tourist in mind for a country where internet access is by no means readily available – about 5% of the island is covered. So if you turn up in Havana with your map app, you may we in for a bit of a rude awakening. http://www.citylab.com/design/2015/02/in-cuba-maps-make-a-comeback/385089/</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Forget all the debate about ‘becksploitation’ and worry instead about what could be happening to the London Underground Map this year. The handy pocket tube map, loved by many and collected by a fair few as well, is set to undergo some major changes in 2015 and with TFL taking over services and the growth of Crossrail, is the current format of the pocket map going to be too small to cope? Londonist has an intriguing video outlining the changes and the way that they could be incorporated. http://londonist.com/2015/02/the-new-tube-map-what-will-it-look-like.php </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Loads of map related links on this site http://www.jonathancrowe.net/maps/ and the reason I chose it was for the piece on mapping anniversaries. Google Maps is 10 years old this year and in a relatively short space of time has done a great job by raising awareness of the importance of mapping in a digital age. Whilst we may have been critical of its style and portrayal in the early days, its inclusion last year as one of MapCarte’s 365 notable maps shows that it has truly “come of age”. Having been around a little longer, and still as powerful and popular as ever, National Geographic celebrates its Centenary in 2015 http://news-beta.nationalgeographic.com/2015/01/150123-maps-mapping-cartography-history-national-geographic-centennial/. <br /><br />Ordnance Survey has recently undergone some significant changes, announcing plans to become a Government Owned Company or GovCo, redesigning its logo and just into March finally announcing its new Chief Executive. With the news that Nigel Clifford has been appointed as the new CE still relatively hot off the press, most column inches and twitter debate was devoted to the rebranding exercise which seemed to divide opinion. It also spawned a parody Twitter account “British Survey” which is irreverently funny and has made me smile on a number of occasions.<br /><br /><u>Special Interest Groups</u></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />This month I am spotlighting the Historical Military Mapping Special Interest Group, which does very much what it says on the can. This SIG would really benefit from some direct support from members and the Convener, Dr John Peaty, would love to hear from anyone who would be willing to get involved as either Secretary or Newsletter Editor for the Group. Last year The Group organised a very successful Bomber Command study tour to Lincolnshire which took in visits to East Kirkby Airfield, the home of the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at RAF Coningsby, the visitor centre at RAF Scampton, as well as several “off the beaten track” venues thanks to the support of Phil Bonner the Aviation Development Officer at Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />This year the group is crossing the channel to visit First World War battlefields and will be organising a workshop at York. John has also recently been in touch with Simon Bendry at UCL, who is the national co-ordinator of the school centenary visits to the Western Front battlefields. He wants to meet because one of the things that the schools are crying out for is trench maps and BCS will investigate how we can become involved. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><u>And finally…</u><br /><br />Well, nobody guessed that the BBC quote in the last bulletin, “…..is a thing of beauty, with a wonderfully tightly packaged rear end” actually referred to the new McLaren F1 car for the 2015 season.</span><br />

interest early. We have held joint events in the past, the last being at Reading
in 2003. As in previous years, there will be a day for Special Interest Group
activities on Tuesday 8<sup>th</sup> September including a Mapathon organised
by the GIS SIG. Last year this was based on data supplied by the Commonwealth
War Graves Commission. The Map Curators Group and the Historical Military
Mapping Group are also planning a joint event. The BCS-SoC Conference will run

stunning cartography in the past 12 months? If so, we would love to see it and
hope that you are considering entering it for the BCS Awards. Any product
generated since 1<sup>st</sup> May 2014 is eligible and there are four separate
categories to enter: The Stanfords Award; The OS Open Data Award; The John C
Bartholomew Award; and The Avenza Award. The winners in each category then go
head to head for the overall BCS Award, last year won by Lovell Johns for their
Historic Map of York. Additionally there are young peoples’ awards for New
Mapmakers and Schools. National Geographic who sponsored the New Mapmaker Award
have withdrawn their sponsorship this year and it will be sponsored in the
interim by the BCS until we can find a replacement sponsor. I would like to
record my thanks to National Geographic for sponsoring the Award for many years
and we are sorry to lose them.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A few months ago I
posted a Victorian era map showing travel times from London around the world as
colour bands on a world map. I did challenge anyone to produce an updated
version and whilst nobody has yet done so, Ben Hennig at Oxford University,
well known for his cartograms, has produced a map showing the world’s most
remote locations. As I have been to Thule Air Base in Northern Greenland, it
looks like I can claim to have visited one of the world’s most remote places.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Quite a good little
application if you want to include some basic maps in presentations etc... and
it is free. Details can be found at </span><a href="http://www.mapchart.net/"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">www.mapchart.net</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> where there are maps of a few regions
with more due to be added. The regional breakdown of the UK is interesting and
might be more useful if it was based on counties, but it remains a simple
resource for schools and beginners.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">GPS horror stories are
well known but the consistent improvement in satnav capabilities and ironing
out the nonsensical mistakes are making them more reliable. However, total
reliance on a disembodied voice on your dashboard can be a mistake if you
suddenly lose signal. The importance of actually knowing where you are remains
paramount and even if you don’t have a paper map or road atlas to hand, the
mental map based on the pre-planning of your journey and understanding where
you should be can be a lifesaver.</span></div>

recognisable representations of London is via its underground network, where
distortions to locations aid clarity and interpretation. London Boroughs have
now been given the ‘square’ treatment and I think it actually works well as a
means of conveying complex information in a simple way, removing the
geographical size differences of the boroughs whilst retaining the correct
relative orientation in most cases. You can check out some of the variations at

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">It would appear that one
of the ‘best kept secrets’ of the BCS might be the Special Interest Groups
(SIGs), so over the next few months I will be highlighting the activities of
each to make members, and non-members alike, more aware of their roles and
activities. I am going to start with the GIS SIG, which as well as being a
palindrome is probably the most self-explanatory. This SIG is primarily aimed
at those using GIS to generate mapping products and it organises events aimed
at both showcasing what GIS can do and also providing some cartographic
underpinning for people who may have learned to use GIS but may have never
received any formal cartographic training. GIS SIG members are frequent
presenters at BCS Better Mapping Seminars and also run events around the
country, with a new venture being BCS support of the Maptime initiatives which
are beginning to be held in the UK. An innovation last year, which looks like
becoming a regular feature at Symposia in the future, is the Mapathon. The
basic idea is for anyone interested to turn up with their own laptop, running
whatever GIS software they utilise and they are given a dataset from which to
generate outputs, which are then reviewed and critiqued at the end of the day.
Last year we worked with data provided by the Commonwealth War Graves
Commission and 20 people attended, working in teams of 3 or 4 to produce a wide
range of innovative outputs. We will be holding another Mapathon at the
Symposium in York and we also hope to organise one at Ordnance Survey in late
Spring.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">While you do find maps
in some rather unusual places, I haven’t seen one on a pasty before and
certainly not one this big. It was made by the head chef at the Eden Project
ahead of the World Pasty Championships to be held on 28th February. I left the
Sherlock paragraph in as it ties back to my Presidential address at last year’s
Symposium where I compared Cartographers to Sherlock as high functioning
sociopaths. It looks like we have also both had a popularity surge with
Sherlock topping iPlayer viewing figures and BCS Membership topping 700.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I
need to start this bulletin with an apology for an error that was pointed out
to me by Roger Smith in New Zealand. In the last bulletin I featured a brain
map which was credited to Nico Lambert. Nico did tweet the image but he never
claimed it was his – the rightful owner/cartographer is a Kiwi, Sam Brown from
Wellington. My apologies to Sam for the mistake.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Roger also sent me a link to a
short video file about New Zealand’s GeoCart Conference held in Auckland a few
months ago. This is a biennial event, which he describes as “always lots of fun
and very rewarding.” Sounds just like a BCS Symposium then! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig3MlkXKEag" title="blocked::https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig3MlkXKEag">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig3MlkXKEag</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Talking
of the Symposium, next year it will be held jointly with the Society of
Cartographers in York. We have talked about joint events on several occasions
and they have indeed taken place in the past, but this will be the first in
over ten years. Although the exact venue in York is still under discussion we
will be convening from 7<sup>th</sup> to 9<sup>th</sup> September, with the 7<sup>th</sup>
being the Special Interest Group day, followed by two full days of talks, workshops
and the Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony. There are only four months left before
the Awards close for 2015. So please do enter all the maps you will have
produced between 1<sup>st</sup> May 2014 and 30<sup>th</sup> April 2015. The
BCS President’s Annual Golden Ball Golf competition will take place on Thursday
10<sup>th</sup> September. So for all the budding BCS golfers out there, start
honing your skills in the New Year. You've nine months to perfect your swings
and putts, emulate Rory McIlroy and win the prestigious Golden Ball Trophy!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In
early December, BCS had a stand at GeoDATA London 2014 and it proved to be yet
another excellent event. The stand was busy all day with a steady stream of
visitors and we handled lots of enquiries as well as signing up several new
members. The one theme that persisted all day was a desire for training in
cartography, especially from GIS practitioners, most of whom had never had any
formal cartographic instruction. We are planning to re-launch our ‘Better
Mapping’ workshops in 2015 to try and address this gap in practitioner
knowledge. We are also intending to launch a Local Authority Special Interest
Group in the early part of the year to address their particular needs. So if
you work for a Local Authority and would like to join it or if you have any specific
suggestions and ideas as to what you would like to see covered in it please do
contact me directly in the post Christmas lull as we need your input as soon as
possible.</span></span></div>

next generation of cartographers (all under 12 years of age) showcased their
talents in Ordnance Survey’s recent competition to design a map of where Santa
lives. Judging by the pictures on their blog they had tens of entries and some
very inventive ways of depicting the theme including paper, computer and Minecraft
worlds! Of course, the prize was a visit to see Santa in Lapland so no wonder
they had so many entries! India, aged 7, from High Wycombe was the lucky
winner.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"> </span></b>Full

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There
are some exciting developments for 2015 with two major initiatives
planned or underway. The first is a major development with relation to the Cartographic
Journal, which will be available online in the New Year. This reflects the way
that most journals are now circulated but paper copies will still be sent out
to members. Whilst on the subject of the Journal I need to say a big thank you
to Ken Field who has just stood down as editor after 9 years. The Cartographic
Journal has thrived under his editorship and is one of the pre-eminent journals
in the field with authors so keen to be published that we have a lot of
articles awaiting publication.</span></span></div>

second development is that the Society website is finally undergoing a
major overhaul and between now and its completion I would like to ask for
members to be patient with the 'work in progress' and to remind them that the
Society is staffed by volunteers, without whom it would not exist.</span></span></div>

the fight against Ebola in West Africa goes on, the part that maps have played
in helping to combat the disease is spelt out on the MapAction website,
concentrating on their deployment to Sierra Leone since September. The
MapAction mission was to use their mapping skills to help decision-makers
ensure that adequate treatment facilities were being provided in the right
places and to identify the most effective means of stopping the transmission of
Ebola. This work was supplemented by mapping the number of cases against
building density in Freetown and advising the water and sanitation authorities
where to put fresh water tap stands, something which has echoes of John Snow’s
cholera map of London in the 1800s. Full details of all of the MapAction maps
can be found at <a href="http://www.mapaction.org/component/mapcat/georss.html?deployment_filter=232">http://www.mapaction.org/component/mapcat/georss.html?deployment_filter=232</a>.</span></span></div>

modern satellite technology and GIS capabilities the whole world has now been
mapped'. Actually, no it hasn’t. There are still large swathes of the planet
that have not been mapped, or at least if they have been mapped it is at such a
small scale as to be very limited in use. A recent article on the BBC website
examined some of the reasons why some areas of the world are not well mapped
and whilst some elements of the article are questionable it is an interesting
piece. It also mentions the ‘Missing Maps’ project, an initiative <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">to map the most vulnerable places in the
developing world, in order that international and local NGOs, and individuals
can use the maps and data to better respond to crises affecting the areas.
Based on the Open Street Map concept, anyone can join in to add detail to those
parts of the world where mapping can make a huge contribution to disaster
relief efforts and humanitarian projects. The image shows a group of
contributors at a ‘Missing Maps Party’, a wonderful example of collaborative
cartography.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Whilst
I fully appreciate that the London Underground Map has been much abused and
parodied with all sorts of topics being fitted to its network, there is a
recent one which I think really works and is actually useful and interesting.
LONDONIST have produced a medieval tube map, favouring Domesday Book names
primarily to show what would have been at the stations hundreds of years ago.
Many names are recognisable even if in a slightly different form and it is
interesting to see how big London was at the time and how so many of the
outlying villages have since been swallowed up in the urban sprawl. As the site
notes, they have omitted the Docklands Light Railway as most names would have
simply been a variation on ‘marshland’.</span></span></div>

the railway and add in shops. I don’t think a bridge with
shops on has existed in London for centuries, but it was obviously given some
consideration even if it never materialised. The site also includes some lovely
visualisations of what the scheme could have looked like and a photo of a very
detailed 3D model that was made.<br />

curtailed selection this month, as there are 7 more maps to come in December.
Perhaps India's Santa Map should feature on 25<sup>th</sup> December? My first
selection is the 'National Geographic Atlas', which I was going to call a
timeless classic, but then it has only been around since the 1960s, so is it
still a little early to earn the description? Whether it is or not, it remains
a great example of clear and simple cartography and a ‘house style’ that is
instantly recognisable. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">My
second selection is William Smith’s 'Geological Map of England and Wales and
parts of Scotland'. It is the subject of Simon Winchester’s book, ‘The Map That
Changed the World’ and which I can thoroughly recommend as a good read. Having
seen the full-sized map by William Smith at the Geological Society of London’s
offices, it is a truly awe-inspiring map in its complexity as well as its
simplicity. Can you have something that is both complex and simple? Well, I would
argue that you can in this instance. 'Complex' in the nature of the subject
that he was studying, yet 'simple' in the layout and depiction, which thus
renders the underlying details with remarkable clarity.</span></span></div>

final abbreviated selection is the 'First World War Trench Map of Guedecort',
although any one of the extensive series could have been chosen. Setting out to
war with old and unsuitable maps at a variety of scales, British troops very soon
came to rely on the new 1:10 000 series of maps that eventually covered the
whole of the Western Front. Using conventional survey techniques and
incorporating detail taken from aerial photography, these maps were updated on a
very regular basis to ensure that the latest military situation could be
communicated rapidly. Under the conditions at the time it is amazing to think
of Field Survey Companies producing and printing maps in the field of such a
standard and in such great quantities. Incidentally, a set of 7 commemorative
map reproductions, originally produced for the 90<sup>th</sup> Anniversary of
the First Battle of the Somme, are still available at a very reasonable sum
indeed. Contact me for details using the addresses at the foot of the Bulletin.</span></span></div>

know that I posted this a couple of years ago, but thought that it was time for
a reminder that you can keep track of Santa as he delivers gifts around the
world. NORAD’s sophisticated tracking system follows him on his journey and if
you want to make sure that you are tucked up and asleep before he arrives,
check out <a href="http://www.noradsanta.org/">http://www.noradsanta.org/</a>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The BCS
AGM was held at the RAF Club in London
on 17<sup>th</sup> November and we reflected on another successful year for the
Society. The Restless Earth schools' programme is proving to be as popular as
ever, the Annual Symposium at Marwell ran jointly with IMIA was a great
success, the BCS Awards were rejuvenated and proved to be a highlight of the
Gala Dinner and our membership continues to grow, topping 700 at the end of the
month. We are also in very good health financially and in response to a
question at the AGM the Council will be looking at the reserves that we hold
and will be determining ways of investing and using our assets to further
develop the Society. We are aware that the BCS website needs updating and we
will be offering online access to the Cartographic Journal in 2015, but if you
have any specific proposals for how BCS funds could be employed then please get
in touch.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The AGM
was followed by a talk by BBC weather presenter Helen Willetts, who spoke about
the ‘Changing Face of the Weather Map’. It was an excellent talk during which
Helen covered a far greater timespan that I had anticipated, from ancient times
right up to the modern day. It was a really entertaining and informative talk,
sparked many questions from the audience and finally solved the mystery for me
of the seven legged spider. Helen confessed afterwards that she hadn’t spoken
in public for nearly eight years, but you couldn’t tell and she also confided
to me that she had thoroughly enjoyed the evening.</span></div>

you’re in trouble when the reigning monarch says that maps have been overtaken
by satnavs, although if you read the article the headline is a bit misleading
and that’s not what she actually said. What she actually said to one of the
pupils who was finding co-ordinates on a map is that ‘Nowadays you probably
have a satnav or something’. Yes, Ma'am, that something is a map. On the same
page in the paper was a report on proposed changes to the driving test
including 'asking candidates to follow directions on a satnav, as an alternative
to following road signs'. I’m sorry but isn’t that just plain daft? I never
navigate simply by following road signs, if I did getting from my home in
Woking to say Leeds could be a bit of a challenge if I was relying solely on
road signs as there aren’t too many in Woking that tell you where Leeds is.
Edmund King president of the AA chimed in with 'Some still navigate with signs
and maps'; useful concept ‘some’ just imprecise enough not to be able to
disagree with it too vehemently. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Just to
remind us all that paper maps and satnavs are not necessarily mutually
exclusive, a web article from HEMA maps, ‘down under’, shows how the two can be
used successfully together. Rob Boegheim, the company’s managing director
always starts his planning process with a paper map as he argues that its scope
is still the best way to get the big picture when planning a trip. The progression
from planning at home to discovering somewhere out in the bush, instantly
transforms the basic paper map from planning tool into cheap insurance. Though
the likelihood of technological failure is rare in most cases, a paper map is
always an essential low cost backup that will pay dividends when called upon on
the expedition.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">One of the
guest speakers from our 50<sup>th</sup> Anniversary year, Jack Dangermond, has
recently been quoted as saying that he wants top executives to think more like
cartographers. Growth of GIS beyond its original boundaries is now making
people realise the benefits to analysis and decision making if the geospatial
element is fully considered. What is broadly termed as ‘location strategy’ is
now a large factor in business allowing those who employ it to gain the
competitive advantage.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I have
been showcasing the ICA Map Carte webpage for the whole year (see below) and a
new article by ICA President Georg Gartner, looks at cartography in the 21<sup>st</sup>
century. One of his key points echoes the thoughts of HEMA maps in that there
are significant differences in the way we use paper and digital outputs. Using
a paper map gives you the broader picture so that you quickly develop a sense
of place and can navigate an area comfortably relatively quickly, whereas the
convenience of a small screen makes you concentrate on directions without
developing that same sense of your surroundings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The BCS
Better Mapping seminars offered the concept that as well as literacy and
numeracy, there was a third important skill of ‘graphicacy’, ie. the ability to
read and understand graphical images, particularly maps. This point is taken up
by Kenneth D. Madsen an assistant professor of geography at The Ohio State
University at Newark.
Whilst not advocating that we all learn by rote the locations of world
countries and their capitals, he does argue that just as use of a calculator
does not diminish the need to know basic maths and just as knowing the alphabet
is a prerequisite for reading, so it is that knowledge of where to find places
is useful for a greater understanding of geographic processes.</span></div>

string. Well, now it would appear that GIS professionals are under threat. I

Geographer or is it Geospatial practitioner, geospatial developer or location
specialist. The author Joseph Berry argues that in getting GIS more widely
accepted and used amongst a non-specialist </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">community, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">We need individuals, who understand the challenges faced by the wider

map of the Hounslow Heath baseline. Easy because his was the predecessor of the
organisation that I now work for. Tracing its history back to 1747, Military
Survey (as it was once known) mapped the UK
and Ireland
to a phenomenal degree given the technology at their disposal. You can still
see the ends of the baseline marked by two upturned cannons, one in Ordnance
Close and one at Heathrow airport, although the vast majority of people
probably don’t know what they signify.</span></div>

important role in scientific discovery. Celebrating the central importance of Italy before it was a unified country, they were

scientific and cartographic revolution of the day.</span></div>

BCS members will have received the details of the AGM by now, including the voting forms for the BCS Council. As with any election, the higher the turnout the better the result reflects the wish of the electorate so I do hope you have used your chance to have your say. The AGM is being held at the RAF Club in London and will be followed by a talk by BBC Weather Presenter Helen Willetts on ‘The Changing Face of the Weather Map’.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><u>Cartography on the web</u><br /><br />I’m not sure that Greenwich will be very thrilled with the claim but according to a recent article on the BBC website, a Scottish astronomer and scientist is thought to have laid the first meridian line, arguably making St Andrews "the place where time began".<br /><br />James Gregory laid the line across his lab in 1673, nearly 200 years before the Greenwich meridian was established. As it runs several degrees west of Greenwich that could mean that we are all about 12 minutes out.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-29474850">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-29474850</a><br /><br />Not so much Cartography, or even Geography, but Geology for my next one. The Geological Society of London has named its top 100 geological sites in the UK and Ireland, including 10 "people's favourites". The web page includes some stunning pictures, perhaps it should also have include some maps to show the challenges of how such features are depicted in 2D so as to be representative of their true form.</span><br />

They have recently discovered something far more interesting under several layers of wallpaper than I have ever found. Dating back to the 1930s they have found maps that were used by the Courtaulds, the owners at the time, to plan their many overseas travels. English Heritage is now appealing for the £25,000 required for expert conservators to uncover, fully restore and protect these tantalising portals into a bygone age of luxury travel. <a href="http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/about/news/londons-art-deco-eltham-palace-major-makeover/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=English+Heritage&utm_campaign=4864815_Members%27+E-Newsletter+November+2014&utm_content=ElthamPalace&dm_i=1CY6,2W9PR,6VT8I0,AH5PP,1">English Heritage webpage</a> Thanks to ‘regular’ contributor Sue Brett for forwarding this one to me.<br /><br />There are a few glaring errors in this BBC piece about why we love Ordnance Survey maps, but the interesting thing is that John O'Keefe who has jointly won the 2014 Nobel Prize for medicine for discovering the brain's navigation system.

paper map. The batteries never run out in the middle of nowhere. They suffer to a lesser degree in rain or bright sun. They can be crammed into your backpack…you can even damage them and not break the bank! That doesn’t mean that print cartography cannot develop and the fact that this map is printed on crushed rock means you can do pretty much anything to it and it’ll survive.<br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Another example of indestructible cartography comes from the much publicised Splashmaps. Started by David Overton in 2012, there are now over 30 different areas of Great Britain available and there is also a personalised service. They are waterproof, tear-proof and can withstand being handled roughly. They can also be written on and are washable so after getting the map in a mess it can be thrown in the washing machine and be brought back to its pristine best.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><br /> My last choice this month is a chart, not a map. Ask, ‘What is the difference between a chart and a map?’ and you will probably get a whole host of different answers. The focus for a nautical chart is on the detail at sea, but his example also gives a clear and uncluttered representation of the land. Hydrographic charts typically use very few colours, usually in the pastel hues and this particular example does a really good job in creating a pleasing visual hierarchy and maintaining a clear delineation of the key details.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well, in the end I suppose it was all a bit of a damp squib with the Scottish independence vote being decisively won by the ‘Better Together’ campaign despite some polls predicting a much closer result right up to the day of polling. So we won’t have to re-draw the map of the United Kingdom although lots of versions were being produced right up to the last minutes to show how things might have looked had the vote gone the other way.<br /><br /> And this wasn’t the only geopolitical issue in the news last month, there was also a little bit of a spat between Russia and Canada over the Crimea, and I quote “when diplomats from Canada and Russia engaged in passive-aggressive cartography on social media.” Apparently Canada’s mission to NATO tweeted a map that was aimed at helping Russian soldiers who kept getting lost and not knowing on which side of the border they were and it also clearly labelled the Crimean Peninsula “not Russian”. Not to be outdone, Russian diplomats tweeted their own map that showed Crimea fully under Russian control. The Canadian Tweet was shared 25000 in one day, the Russian Tweet? Just 400.<br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">The BBC also reported last month on the latest development in the South China Sea. You</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> may remember in my July Bulletin that I included a picture of Vietnamese models wearing map dresses in what was called ‘soft power’ showing their interpretation of the maritime boundaries. Well it would appear that China has taken an altogether more practical approach and is actually constructing new islands in order to bolster its territorial claims. The appearance of these islands has happened suddenly and is a dramatic new move in a longstanding territorial struggle in the South China Sea. At the beginning of this year, the Chinese presence in the Spratly Islands consisted of a handful of outposts, a collection of concrete blockhouses perched atop coral atolls. Now it is building substantial new islands on five different reefs.

sea charts, maps showing exploration and settlement overseas; maps for treaties and diplomacy; and even maps which capture the imaginative element of cartography. Available at £25 from TNA.<br /><br /> As someone who has always marvelled at how accurately some ancient charts appear to depict coastlines and continents, I was really interested to read an article on Portolan Charts. These have been described as one of the most remarkable and mysterious technical advances in the history of navigation. The example first presented in the article is a chart of the Mediterranean so accurate that ships today could navigate with it. Most earlier maps that included the region were not intended for navigation and were so imprecise that they are virtually unrecognizable to the modern eye. The person who made this document — the first so-called portolan chart, from the Italian word portolano, meaning “a collection of sailing directions” — spawned a new era of mapmaking and oceanic exploration. That first portolan mapmaker also created an enormous puzzle for historians to come, because he left behind few hints of his method: no rough drafts, no sketches, no descriptions of his work. <a href="http://discovermagazine.com/2014/june/14-the-mapmakers-mystery#.VBMIZzg2e41.twitter">http://discovermagazine.com/2014/june/14-the-mapmakers-mystery#.VBMIZzg2e41.twitter</a><br /><br />Equally as mysterious is this next map.

Mars, this is another extra-terrestrial object that has been mapped, the catchily named 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Comet. Mapped by the European Space Agency’s satellite, Rosetta, the plan is to identify a suitable site for Rosetta’s probe to land on the surface of the comet.

Research carried out by scientists at the British Geological Survey, in association with the University of Rhode Island and the University of Tokyo, has revealed that a submarine landslide contributed to the enormity of the 2011 tsunami in Japan. Research showed that the very high waves recorded along the northern part of the affected coast could not be explained by the earthquake, because the epicentre was located farther south. The high waves, however, could be explained by a submarine landslide located offshore of the Honshu coast. Using sophisticated modelling of the Japan event a location for the possible landslide was found and seabed imagery showed that there was one present. Modelling of the tsunami from the earthquake and landslide together reproduced the waves that had devastated the north Honshu coast. <br /><br /><u>ICA Map Carte</u><br /><br />Image maps are very familiar to us, but in the 1960s they were still a fairly new concept.

Beautiful historical cartography that as a print would grace any wall, but is probably beyond the means of most. The bold, vivid colours of Speed’s atlas perhaps look a little garish for modern tastes but reflect the opulence that was often part of the process. Often created as prestigious ways of recognising a royal patron, the brighter the better, and they in no way detract from the maps themselves.<br /><br /><br />

this year’s RGS-IBG Annual Conference, I was invited to take part in a panel
discussion entitled “Geography, geographers and the new cartography”. Along
with Chris Perkins from Manchester University and Janet Speake and David
Chester from Liverpool Hope University we discussed with an audience of about
25 participants what this meant. Panel members were each given 10 minutes and I
reused some elements of my Presidential Address to restate that cartography was
not dead, nor was there necessarily a ‘new’ cartography, but that its
importance was greater than ever. The discussion was free flowing and we did
not all agree on everything, but there was a general consensus that whilst
Cartography as a distinct academic discipline may well be dead in the UK, there
was still a huge need for it to underpin the huge amount of maps appearing
everywhere, not just on the web. Quite a few people in the audience made maps
but had never had any cartographic training and recognised that this was a
hindrance to producing good quality consistent output.</span></div>

there had been a dispute and they decided to get their own back, but the design
of this particular map went viral and has generated a huge amount of publicity,

it went so wrong and what could be done to make it better. Ken Field’s

little professional advice was needed and it is indeed heartening to see that
the producer of the original didn’t take exception but took the comments on
board and came up with a better looking product, although as Ken quite rightly
pointed out a simple graph might have done a better job of getting the message
across. Whilst maps (not infographics) will often do a great job of
highlighting trends or patterns that aren’t apparent in the simple data,
sometimes just because data has a geo dimension doesn’t mean that you have to
map it.</span></div>

were told were very deceptive due to the lack of atmospheric refraction. So how

sporting example is the many dimensions of a baseball field, which perhaps
highlights one of the minor pitfalls of the previous map. There are maximum and
minimum limits for a football pitch and they are all the same basic shape, but
Neil Armstrong might have walked a bit further if he was at the Etihad (the
largest Premier League pitch) than at Upton Park (the smallest). Baseball
pitches, however, are all the same in the infield, but the outfields vary quite
considerably both in size and shape with the home team often having a distinct
advantage in the field because they know how their stadium plays and what sort
of ricochets you’re going to get.</span></div>

to be when the news stories dry up and the media outlets are obliged to drag
out the funny, the odd, the non-news and frankly the fairly weird news stories.
But luckily 'silly season’ hasn’t extended as far as this bulletin which
retains its sense of decorum – but let’s face it by the August bulletin I might
be running out of ideas. Have you been away on holiday yet? How far did you
travel and how long did it take you to get there? My guess is that for most
people it will have been less than 12 hours, so just be thankful that you
weren’t travelling in 1881 which is the date of this Isochronic World Map. To
quote its explanatory text, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Isochronic
travel chart for passengers showing the shortest number of days journey from
London by the quickest through routes and using further such conveyances as are
available without unreasonable cost. It is supposed that local preparations
have been made and that other circumstances are favourable”</i>. Europe could
still be reached ‘within 10 days’ so as long as you went for a fortnight you’d
probably be alright; the east coast of America was between 10 and 20 days and
for the long haul to Australia you would need to allow more than 40 days. Which
set me thinking and prompted me to issue a challenge. The technology now at our
disposal must make it fairly simple to calculate a similar map for today which
will show just how much the World has shrunk. We know where the Proclaimers
could have travelled from (something that the Commonwealth Games recently
hammered home time and time again), so calculating an updated ‘Isochronic
Travel Chart’ should be relatively straightforward. Sounds to me like an
excellent project for a BCS Award entry.</span></div>

headline calls ‘soft’ power, the Vietnamese have hit on a new way to push their
case for ownership of disputed islands in the South China Sea, map dresses. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This latest move by Vietnam has
allegedly generated more Chinese media coverage than Vietnam’s naval clashes
with Chinese maritime forces in the South China Sea. China and Vietnam have
been involved in several rounds of violent maritime clashes in recent months,
especially since early May when China surreptitiously installed an oil rig near
the Paracel Islands which were taken by China from Vietnam in 1974 after a
short but fierce naval battle. The traditional dresses are printed with maps of
Vietnamese islands in the South China Sea claimed or occupied by China.</span></span></div>

are obviously very much to the fore as there is also an extensive syllabus
produced called the 21<sup>st</sup> Century Skills Map for Geography. Whilst it
is American it does contain a lot of good material and although Cartography per
se doesn’t get much dedicated coverage there is a lot of map work and GIS
involved and it’s heartening to see forward looking concepts such as ‘media
literacy’ being covered and the cartographic elements are mostly found in the
‘Creativity and Innovation’ section. </span><a href="http://www.p21.org/storage/documents/21stcskillsmap_geog.pdf"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">http://www.p21.org/storage/documents/21stcskillsmap_geog.pdf</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;"> Altogether a little bit more inspiring than the

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">As
part of the celebrations of their 50<sup>th</sup> Anniversary the Society of
Cartographers arranged a talk at University College London by Ed Parsons, the</span><span class="Heading2Char"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></span><span class="st1"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">Geospatial
Technologist of Google. Entitled ‘Celebrating Cartography’ the talk was a
fascinating review of the use of maps and geographic information today and the
way that it has grown over the last ten years into a multi-billion pound
industry.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;"> Now that it is so familiar, it is
sobering to note that Google Earth recently celebrated just its 10<sup>th</sup>
birthday. We have adopted what was ground breaking technology remarkably
quickly and it is easy to forget that with the rapid technology advances things
that we take for granted haven’t actually been around all that long. Google
Maps has undergone a similar ‘mass adoption’ and there are now one billion
users, with one third of all internet users accessing Google maps every month.
The improvements that have been made to Google Maps have moved it from being a
functional if rather ugly product to something which now embodies much that is
good in modern online cartography and it was duly recognised as such in the ICA
Map Carte selection a couple of months ago. I think the key point that Ed made,
however, was the way in which everybody is now using maps on the web. We are not
just looking at maps on the web, we are using them much more to support our
day-to-day activities, be it journey planning, finding the nearest Indian
restaurant or checking out areas to buy a house, which are just a few examples
of how they are being used. As Ed mentioned in his closing remarks, Maps are
now being used more widely than at any point in history.</span></span></h2>

selection from the Map Carte nominations this month starts with a classic from
the 1840s, a birds eye view of China, which appears to be years ahead of its
time. We are now very used to perspective views as a means of portraying
geographic information, but this was produced at a time when the producer’s
imagination and vision played a large part in the composition.</span></span></h2>

of which the Hauenstein sheet is one, shows that they have not lost their eye.
Building upon the legacy of elegant maps that have gone before, this updated
design shows clear lineage with contemporary flair. The lines are cleaner, the
marks almost more deliberate. The text is so well placed it looks as if it sits
perfectly at home amongst the other map features. The density of information is
almost unbelievable and to achieve such a well balanced product without recourse
to more omission and simplification is astonishing. The classic Imhof-inspired
hillshade lends a clarity and brightness to the topography and gives it the
unmistakable look of a Swiss topographic map</span></i></span></div>

buildings had on New York. It’s ‘population’ swelled immensely although most of
it was daytime working population, where a single skyscraper could hold 50,000
people. Joey Chedarchuk has taken a similar theme and show New York, or more
specifically Manhattan, as a ‘breathing’ city reflecting its population
throughout the day.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;"></span></span></h2>

mentioned earlier the level of attention that cartography for children and

certainly backs this up. We circulated all schools who have expressed interest
in Restless Earth and we now have 28 workshops arranged for the academic year
2014/15. We have almost become the victims of our own success as resourcing
these is becoming a challenge and we discussed at Council the possibility of
appointing an Education Officer. We are currently seeking sources of funding
for this to see if is feasible as we can’t really continue to rely on
volunteers for what has become such a large programme. If you know of any
charitable trusts who may like to support this please let me know as we would
like to target our appeal. Similarly if you feel you could offer to support a
workshop by coming along on the day to help that would be great, the current
programme is available on the Restless Earth page of the BCS website.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This
time last month I was highlighting the upcoming start of the World Cup and
wondering aloud if England
could win it – well, we all know the answer to that question now! It was a
very disappointing campaign, given the promise that all of the younger players
seemed to suggest. Unfortunately we didn’t play to potential and the
‘blistering pace’ that was supposed to be our secret weapon against ageing
opposition just wasn’t apparent. The same can’t be said of maps of the World
Cup, they have been all over the place. Given away in umpteen magazines and
newspapers, they now adorn offices and bedrooms around the country or have they
all been torn down in frustration?!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I
am writing this just over a week after the Symposium closed and I have had time to
reflect a little on this year’s event. We thought that with our 50<sup>th</sup>
Birthday last year, the numbers attending would be at their peak, but they were
exceeded by those attending this year. Some of that was due to the fact that we
held a joint event with the International Map Industry Association (IMIA) who
swelled our numbers and gave us more of an international dimension. But even
allowing for this the number of delegates was up, with over 100 people
attending the Wednesday sessions.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
Mapathon on Tuesday went extremely well. Six teams were presented with data
from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and given about 6 hours to come up
with a map based on that data. I was invited along to help judge the teams’
entries and was impressed by what they had been able to achieve in such a short
time. They all took a different approach to representing the dataset and the
final outputs all looked at different strands of the information. We hope to
make them available via the BCS website soon, so keep monitoring it on a
regular basis. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
programme had been constructed to try and reflect the broad nature of our
membership, drawing on speakers from a good range of organisations. Although we
had one or two late withdrawals it didn’t adversely affect the programme thanks
to those who were able to step in at short notice to plug the gaps. One gap we
couldn’t plug was the loss of our guest speaker on Tuesday evening. World
events got in the way and our speaker from the Army Co-operation Squadron was
deployed just days before the event at too short notice to be replaced.</span></span></div>

is not the place to go through a synopsis of the talks and there will be a full
article in the next edition of Maplines that will do that. Suffice to say that
the range of presentations was excellent, the workshops were thought provoking
and instructive, with everything running very smoothly throughout the
Symposium. The Gala Dinner was very well attended, with 89 diners and it
was particularly pleasing that all but one of those recognised in the BCS
Awards process was present to collect their certificate or trophy.
Congratulations this year to all who received recognition from BCS for their
cartographic excellence and especially to Lovell Johns Ltd who won the overall
BCS Award. The Awards Display showcased the work that is going on around the
world with entries from as far afield as USA, New Zealand,
Mexico, Hungary and Ireland as well as from
the UK.
The BCS Awards for 2015 are open, so please do think about entering your
products for these as we celebrate excellence in Cartography.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
Symposium programme alternates between accommodating the Helen Wallis Memorial
Lecture and the BCS President’s Address. This year it was the latter. I took
the opportunity to highlight the fact that despite several articles to the contrary,
Cartography is not dead – drawing an analogy from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and
more specifically the BBC Series Sherlock. At the end of Series 2 we were all
lead to believe that Sherlock was dead, but Series 3 showed him to be very much
alive. The same can be said of Cartography; commentators have tried to kill it
off, but it is in as healthy a position now as it ever has been.</span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
problem we face is that the proliferation of tools and apps for creating maps,
specifically in the web medium, means that anyone can now make a map. Whilst
this is hugely positive in raising the profile and making people far more aware
of maps and their power, it also has the downside of there being a high proportion
of bad maps being created. As a cartographic community we can inwardly cringe
when we see some particularly bad cartography, but what can we do about it? I
firmly believe that we should not set ourselves up as the ‘Carto Police’ and
simply be critical of the bad. In the vast majority of cases it may not do any
actual harm as it is merely poor portrayal, clearly failing to get the message
across. But occasionally it will mislead, misinform or deliberately contort
data and it is this sort of bad cartography that I think we should be reacting
to. Whether it is as a result of laziness or lack of knowledge we should fulfil
a role of highlighting maps that do their job well and offering advice to those
that totally miss the point. There is simply too much for us to notice
everything and whilst labels such as ‘pedantic cartographer’ and ‘cartographic
purist’ don’t do us any favours it does show that we still have a voice and one
that should be listened to.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Four
examples that I particularly liked in June, starting with Charles Booth’s
famous map of London
poverty. Although not the first to portray information thematically, these maps
were truly groundbreaking in the way in which highly detailed information was
portrayed with such clarity and accuracy. Arguably way ahead of their time,
these maps were produced about 20 years after the death of Charles Dickens who
wrote so graphically about London
and its lower classes. Take the two together and you can create a truly gritty
portrait of London
in the late Victorian era.</span></span></div>

suspect that not everyone would call this a ‘map’. As a means of portraying
information spatially, however, it works really well and the clarity of the message is as good as it was in the previous example. Clear use of colours, linked to the
small world inset map, with proportional symbols for the size of countries
really works well. The only thing to watch is the logarithmic scale for the
horizontal axis which can foreshorten the income differential based on the
initial visual perception.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
typographic map of Boston
used to illustrate this example shows how a completely novel use of type can be
manipulated to represent the features of a large city. It wouldn’t work as well
in a rural area, but in the urban setting with solid blocks, punctuated by a
rectilinear road pattern the city layout is clear to see, although the designer
should have included Fenway Park to make it a true picture of Boston.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span>As the text accompanying the image
on the Map Carte website says, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Cartograms seem to be one of those
map types that garner polarised opinion. There are as many who find them
compelling and highly useful as there are those who find any reason to debunk
their utility.</span></i>”
When done well, I think they are very useful and can be a really clear way of
communicating complex data. Yes, the distortions can look very odd to those used
to a ‘standard’ projection, but in conveying proportion by area they can do a
really good job of highlighting differences that may otherwise not be obvious.</span></div>

go hand in hand. With an article entitled ‘The Cartography of Geopolitical
Chaos’ we are reminded that the lines drawn on maps, sometimes a long time ago
are still produced to support the claims of one side against another in a border
dispute. There are quite a lot going on around the world, the most famous, or
infamous, of which is the long running dispute over the South
China Sea. </span></div>

when a large part of the world will be glued to their TV sets for almost a
month watching the World Cup and a slightly smaller part will be groaning
inwardly when you announce you’re going to watch Honduras
v. Ecuador.
Maps and wallcharts will start appearing all over the place in offices and
homes, children will fill out the results in World Cup sticker books until the
novelty wears off, but at least it encourages a healthy interest in the
locations of other countries and which of them England are going to beat.
According to my wallchart predictions, England
will beat Germany in the
final having scraped out of the group and then seen off Ivory Coast, Brazil
and Portugal.
Can England
really win the 2014 World Cup? Yes. Will England win the 2014 World Cup?
Your guess is as good as mine. By the time I write next month’s bulletin, we
will be at the quarter final stage – will England still be a contender?!</span></div>

Annual Symposium is now just 3 weeks away and bookings are at an all-time high.
Well, at least at a high in recent years. No, I haven’t made a mistake.
Although the Society celebrated its 50<sup>th</sup> Anniversary last year, this
year sees us holding our 50<sup>th</sup> Annual Symposium. I don’t know who
holds the record for having attended the most Symposia. I’ve attended them all
since 1999, but I am sure there are others who can surpass that. It looks like
being another excellent event this year with a very good range of speakers from
across the cartographic community, some really hands on workshops and our first
ever Mapathon. Full details of the Mapathon can be found on the website, <a href="http://www.cartography.org.uk/downloads/mapping2014/Mapathon_flyer.pdf"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">http://www.cartography.org.uk/downloads/mapping2014/Mapathon_flyer.pdf</span></a>,
but essentially you turn up at Marwell on the Tuesday morning with your laptop
loaded with software of your choice, we give you a dataset to work with and by
the end of the day you have turned that dataset into a map. We are working with
the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to produce a map or maps that will help
in their commemoration of the Centenary of the First World War. It is free to
attend, so if you haven’t already signed up, check out the website, sign up and
come along. Help will be at hand for those of you who don’t feel that confident
and everyone is welcome whatever your level of expertise.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I have recently become
increasingly aware of the neologism ‘infographic’, more of which at the
Symposium. The huge explosion of mapping on the Internet is both a good and a
bad thing. It has popularised maps even more than ever before and has increased
awareness of issues by portraying them within a spatial context that can often
add depth and meaning – when done well. But the flip side is that an awful lot
of it is not done well, in fact it’s done appallingly badly. A recent article
by Business Insider sums it up perfectly, with some pretty hideous examples - <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-internets-maps-obsession-2014-5#ixzz31BHOvuDf"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">http://www.businessinsider.com/the-internets-maps-obsession-2014-5#ixzz31BHOvuDf</span></a>.

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">‘Could you make a better
map than this?’ Did you rise to the challenge issued by Knowhere Consulting?
They highlighted a dreadful example on their site <a href="http://knowwhereconsulting.co.uk/could-you-make-a-better-map/"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">http://knowwhereconsulting.co.uk/could-you-make-a-better-map/</span></a>.
One thing we need to be wary of is becoming the internet police and just
knocking bad maps. As the article says, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">By
now you may be thinking ‘why doesn’t he stop knocking the LGA’s map and make a
better one himself?’. Well I am a pretty clumsy user of QGIS and I am certainly
not a cartographer so my effort would be be pretty poor. So here’s a
challenge, download the data, use some OpenData and make a better map</i>”. The
entries will be judged and a prize awarded at the July Geomob event, but BCS
would love to see the entries too. Talking of which, the line up for the next
Geomob event on 17<sup>th</sup> July has been announced. Full details may be
found at <a href="http://geomobldn.org/post/86215066805/july-17th-geomob-lineup"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">http://geomobldn.org/post/86215066805/july-17th-geomob-lineup</span></a>.</span></div>

this any more than is strictly necessary, the good old chestnut of right
information, wrong projection reared its ugly head again in May. Few of us
would probably have linked The Proclaimers to cartography, but linked they have
been. Check out the Cartonerd’s blog, <a href="http://cartonerd.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/i-would-map-500-miles.html"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">http://cartonerd.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/i-would-map-500-miles.html</span></a>

as my favourites from this months’ selection? It’s a pretty eclectic mix,
starting with a classic, The Times Atlas. First published in 1895 and still
going strong today, this has been the stalwart of the Atlas market, viewed as
the authoritative version. I do have one rather worrying anecdote, however. Whilst
visiting the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the late 1990s, I was offered a
tour of some of the more prestigious rooms, including the Foreign Secretary’s
Office. The incumbent was Robin Cook at the time and I was heartened to see a
Times Atlas on a side table and assumed that this was the reference work that
the Foreign Secretary consulted when formulating Britain’s Foreign Policy. I was
slightly disheartened, on opening the front cover to discover that it was the
1963 edition!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">‘Where on earth have you
been?’ Well if the Guardian’s map is to be believed, and what looks like a very
heavily pregnant USA
is accurate, most of us seem to have crossed the pond. Australia is pretty rotund as well and as for
our European neighbours it would seem that France
and a particularly pendulous Sweden
are amongst our favourite destinations. As the post says, ‘Simple, Fun and Eye
Catching’.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">My last choice is a bit
like the ‘Kevin’ map last month, I know I shouldn’t like it, but I do. ‘The
Londoner’s view of the North’, is a combination of stereotype and humour.
Whilst it can’t be cited as an example of great cartography, anything that
makes you smile can’t be all bad. Come September 18<sup>th</sup>, I wonder if
the author will have to issue a revised version?!</span></div>

to BCS member, Mark Szegner from Loughborough
University, who has just
been awarded the Higher Education Authority’s STEM (<span class="st1">Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)</span> Technician of the Year Award
for Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences. These awards celebrate the
technician’s contribution to teaching and learning activities and to the wider
HE student experience. Mark is one of the few University Cartographers around
and it is great to be able to celebrate the recognition of cartography in a
field where my source for the original information tells me “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">This is a really big deal as usually
technicians in white coats tend to win”.</i> A brief resumé of his career can

speaker to follow the BCS AGM on 17<sup>th</sup> November. BBC Weather
presenter Helen Willetts will be speaking to us. As yet I don’t have a title
for her talk but it will have a cartographic element. I heard Helen speak at
the RGS some years ago on climate change and she is very engaging speaker. Full
details will appear on the website soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The HMMG Bomber
Command Study Tour that took place in early April proved to be a huge success
despite some initial problems with getting it off the ground. As it turned out
the timing coincided with the 70<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Nuremberg
Raid, Bomber Command’s costliest operation of the war in terms of aircraft and
crew lost. This was brought home on the first stop on our tour, </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The Lincolnshire
Aviation Heritage Centre, an aviation museum in East Kirkby. The day prior to
our arrival a cross had been laid out representing the 95 aircraft and over 700
crew who didn’t return. Over the three day tour we visited a number of sites
associated with Bomber Command, the highlight of which was RAF Coningsby, the
home of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. The aircraft had spent the
winter being serviced and made ready for the upcoming display season and we
were very fortunate to be treated to an impromptu flying display by the Dakota
and a Spitfire, with the Lancaster also outside its hangar with all four
engines running – a sight and sound not to be missed. A full report of the
Study Tour will appear in the Summer issue of Maplines.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
next SIG event apart from Symposium activities will be the Map Curators Group
workshop in Birmingham in early September. The theme of the MCG 2014 Workshop
is: "Hands across the map; co-operation and partnership in map
collections". It is being held in the University of Birmingham in their
Conference Centre. The Workshop will be held on Wednesday 10 September.
On the Tuesday 9 September a training day for those who find they have to
deal with maps or need to refresh their knowledge entitled, "Feral maps
and how to tame them" has been organised. On Thursday 11 September a visit
to a map collection will take place. Full details will shortly be available via
the BCS website, so keep checking for details.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 2;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">And having mentioned the Symposium this
year’s looks like it might outdo even last year’s anniversary event in
popularity. By the close of the early bird deadline on 30<sup>th</sup> April,
we had already had 105 delegates signed up and since then the number has risen
to over 120, an impressive number still six weeks ahead of the event. The full
details of a very impressive programme of talks and workshops is available on
the website, so if you haven’t already booked check out all that is happening
and get your registration in soon.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 2;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">For the first time the BCS had a stand and
ran a workshop at the Geographical Association Conference at the University of
Surrey in mid-April. To quote from their website,<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> “The Geographical Association (GA) is a UK-based subject association
with the charitable objective of furthering geographical knowledge and
understanding through education. We support teachers, students, tutors and
academics at all levels of education through journals, publications, training
events, projects, websites and by lobbying government about the importance of
geography.”</i></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 2;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The main reason for BCS attendance was to
increase awareness of the BCS amongst the education sector and to publicise our
Restless Earth workshop. We were very successful in both cases. We signed up a
few new members and certainly increased awareness through talking to a lot of
the delegates about what we had to offer as a Society. Of particular interest
was the fact that we got a lot of enquiries from primary school staff about
what we could do for the younger age groups, something for us to ponder on. As
there was no pre-booking system for the workshop we were totally unsure of how
many delegates would turn up to the abridged version of the Restless Earth
Workshop, condensed to 45 minutes to fit our allocated slot. As it turned out
we were full and I think the stewards actually had to turn delegates away; it
generated a huge amount of interest and we have already had several enquiries
about running workshops in 2014/15 as a direct result.</span></div>

these new-fangled developments in mapping are jolly interesting don’t you know.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
latest death knell for paper maps was sounded on 20<sup>th</sup> April by Matt
Sheehan. To quote his article, the full details of which can be found at the
link, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">You cannot beat a beautiful paper
map. Cartographers are talented people. But in today’s fast paced, mobile
world, paper maps used for day to day work are no longer practical.” </i>The
article is at,<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><a href="http://www10.giscafe.com/blogs/mobilegis/2014/04/20/goodbye-to-paper-maps-and-pdfs-hello-to-cloud-enabled-gis/"><span style="color: windowtext;">http://www10.giscafe.com/blogs/mobilegis/2014/04/20/goodbye-to-paper-maps-and-pdfs-hello-to-cloud-enabled-gis/</span></a>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Sorry
I just can’t agree with this as a statement, and even the author concedes
rather arguing against himself, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Is this
the end for paper maps? Absolutely not, they will always be with us. Just used
less widely ….</i>” If the quantity and quality of entries for this year’s BCS
Awards is anything to go by then the paper map is alive and well and in
particularly rude health. Admittedly, they do not all lend themselves to “day
to day” work, but many do and remain the best way of navigating and
understanding the area around you. We cannot afford to be complacent and the
growth of digital and web cartography is causing us to have a rethink about
award categories to better reflect the modern cartographic industry but there
are more than enough instances of paper maps being critically important to
everyday activities. One interesting statistic that backs this up is that in the
last 5 years, search and rescue in Scotland has seen a five-fold increase in
calls due to people taking to the mountains with just their smartphone and then
losing signal or battery strength and getting into difficulties.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
selection of maps for the month of April covers a wide range of styles and
types from the antique to the ultra-modern and there should be something, as
usual, to suit everybody’s taste. My top three are quite eclectic and cover the
entire range. Wainwright is a name synonymous with memorable cartography, with the
emphasis very much on ‘art’. His hand drawn maps of the Lake District, an
integral part of his pictorial guides, are truly stunning, their clarity and
ease of use enhanced by being ‘simple’ pen and ink compositions. A combination
of planimetric and perspective views enhances their usability and they remain
as useful today as they were when first produced in the 1950s.</span></div>

Ogilby enjoyed the title of His Majesty’s Cosmographer and Geographic Printer
at a time long before the term ‘cartographer’ had been coined. The first time I
saw an illustration of Ogilby’s strip maps, I remember thinking how modern they
looked, their presentation of information clear and linear and not subject to
much of the fanciful artistry of the time. Very simple in conception but ‘breaking
the mould’ in many ways, not least in not maintaining a constant North, they
are easy to read and understand and poring over them today large elements of
the routes are still clearly recognisable.</span></div>

final ‘choice’ is Google Maps. I can’t imagine that many regular users of the
internet are unfamiliar with Google maps and I certainly use it on an almost
daily basis. Whilst stories of mistakes still appear in the press, most
recently the removal of Basingstoke, this really does a disservice to an API
that has popularised mapping and enabled anyone to customise their information and
present it in cartographic formats. Whilst the results of this opening up are
not always pleasing on the eye, it has greatly increased awareness of mapping
and its uses. To quote the Map Carte description, “</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Quite simply the map is, and continues to be
revolutionary. The 2005 map would get nowhere near MapCarte. The 2014
version is state-of-the-art and in less than 10 years Google are leading big
league cartography and fully deserve inclusion</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">.”</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I know I shouldn’t like this, but as an example of map
silliness it works. Featured in the Onion “America’s Finest News Source”, it purports
to show the distribution of Kevins on a global basis, something in which the US
is a world leader and as the website says, “</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">There
are certainly areas of Australia, the U.K., and Canada where the concentration
of Kevins is high, but they all fall well short of the United States’ Kevin
population across all demographics. And when we look at the benchmark
Kevin-to-John ratio, no country comes even remotely close to the staggering
.205 figure the U.S. posted in 2013</i>.” What more can I say?

The first was from the BBC World Service Programme "Newsday" who wanted to interview a cartographer about the difficulties surrounding how to label the Crimea on maps at the moment. The second was from a Ukraine TV News Service asking the same question. Not wishing to become embroiled in a political debate we declined to comment, but others have not been so cautious. In the US, Rand McNally looks to the State Department for guidance, according to a spokeswoman, so it will not be adding Crimea to Russia's territory. National Geographic, however, is planning to include the territory as part of Russia, their spokesman quoted as saying "We map de facto, in other words we map the world as it is, not as people would like it to be," Not surprisingly, The Russian Geographical Society plans to cooperate with cartographers and the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography to draw new maps of Russia including the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol as two new parts of the Russian Federation.</span><br /><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The ‘Mashable’ website has an interesting review of how cartographers have responded to the challenge of how to show the region at <a href="http://mashable.com/2014/03/19/cartographers-map-crimea/">http://mashable.com/2014/03/19/cartographers-map-crimea/</a></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><u>Cartography on the Web</u><br /><br />Londonmapper is a project whose <a href="http://www.londonmapper.org.uk/">website</a> is still very much under construction, but there are some fascinating cartographic interpretations of data about our nation’s capital city. Some of these were presented to the ‘geomob’ meetup in March by Benjamin Hennig. As the image shows, the final portrayal can look odd and vaguely disturbing, but does make its point very well. Cartograms have been around for a few years now and I think we are getting used to the way in which they distort our traditional view to emphasize certain factors and bring out patterns that otherwise may have been overlooked. With a wide range of topics covering Poverty & Wealth, Population, Identity, Housing, Education, Work, Health, Environment & Travel and Social Harm, this will be an excellent resource for a wide range of interested parties. </span><br /><br /><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Started in 2008, #geomob is a regular event for location-based service developers. They meet every two months and provide a forum to discuss geo innovation, whether for fun or profit, by hosting talks from start-ups, academics, hobbyists, and large corporates. After the talks they retire to a nearby pub to discuss – it all sounds very civilised! The next event is on Tuesday 13th May at 1830 in the Pearson Lecture Theatre at UCL. Exact details, including a map, can be found on <a href="http://lanyrd.com/2014/geomob-may/">the Lanyrd page for the evening</a>, where they ask people to sign up so that they can estimate the audience size. The agenda for the evening will feature 10-15 minute talks from: </span></div>

The early bird discount rate closes on 30th April. The range of speakers covers all aspects of the cartographic community and is complemented by an excellent selection of workshops. The event starts on Tuesday 24th with something brand new for us, the BCS "Mapathon", sponsored by the ICA Commission on Map Design. Participants will be provided with data and can either work as individuals or as teams to create a map in a day. The judges will then evaluate the entries and award prizes for the winners. The maps produced for the Mapathon will be too late for this year’s BCS Awards, but you still have time to get other entries in as the closing date is only a month away now on 30th April. There are four major categories:</div>

The commentary certainly gives some very good pointers as to why the maps have
been selected, whilst pointing out that what makes a good map can be very much
down to personal interpretation. Criteria can be developed against which a map
can be "judged" but if we are too proscriptive then we risk ignoring
the innovative and challenging simply because they don’t conform to what we

As the image shows the mid-Atlantic ridge looks like some colossal scaly reptile stretching the length of the ocean. But what I think is really staggering is the way the continental shelf abruptly ends and we descend into the abyssal plain. The scale is hugely exaggerated but this in no way detracts from the beauty of the map and a very effective method of portraying the sea floor.</span></div>

theme, there was a recent cartoon map which showed Russia as a bear, with Vladimir
Putin's face, hungrily eating Crimea. Countries as animals is nothing new as we
can see in this example from 1648, showing Holland as a lion, an animal long
heraldically associated with the Low Countries.</span></span></div>

Library Branch of the MOD at Tolworth in 1998. These glass negatives were most
likely produced in the 1930s and are approximately 8.5" x 6.5".</span></span></div>

negatives in each box. A comprehensive card index came with the boxes although
one box containing 43 "Y" Maps, 5 town shapes of UK towns and 38 towns in Germany, is not
included in the card index. The "Y" maps were to be used for targeting,
one negative has the words "2 targets on the main street" written on
it. But for whom were these "Y" maps produced? Why "Y"
maps? The general consensus from the Historical Military Mapping Group's Bomber Command Study Tour (more of which next month) is that they might be a bit early for H2S radar
which was introduced into Bomber Command in 1943.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In January’s bulletin I set a question to identify the image below. Congratulations
go to Stephen Low of Ordnance Survey, who correctly identified it as a gravity
scar caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake as revealed by observations
from <span style="color: #031e31;">ESA’s GOCE
satellite. The effects of the magnitude 9.0 earthquake are clearly visible in
GOCE’s gravity data, showing how the movement of rock and other material tens
of kilometers below the surface causes small changes in the local gravity.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Great East Japan Earthquake is still the subject of our
Restless Earth Schools Programme, which continues to flourish. We have a total
of 23 workshops arranged for this academic year and have already taken several
bookings for next year, when we hope to be rolling out a GIS based version.
This year, for the first time, BCS will have a stand at the Geographic
Association Annual Conference and Exhibition at the University of Surrey
from 14<sup>th</sup> to 16<sup>th</sup> April. As well as having a stand, we
will also be running a Workshop at the Conference, so if you are attending make
sure that you come along to Workshop 42 on the Wednesday morning. We anticipate
that this will generate a lot of interest in Restless Earth, so we will be
looking for more volunteers to help us run these in the future.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I set the Society the target of getting to 700 members last
year and although we didn’t quite make it we have now, passing the 700 mark in
early February. My next target is to get up to 750 by the end of 2014, so if
you have friends or colleagues who are not yet members sign them up! This shows
the Society to be in very good health with numbers continuing to climb across a
good spread of the broader cartographic industry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #031e31;">Do you know your ‘Stans’? Could you have identified it on the map if Kazakhstan hadn't been plastered right across it? The President of Kazakhstan is worried
that we don’t and that his country is getting mixed up with others ‘inferior’
countries in the region.</span> <span lang="EN" style="color: #222222;">President Nursultan Nazarbayev is ready to do something about the problem
and has suggested the idea of dropping the "stan" from Kazakhstan's
name. The idea is to help the massive country stand out from its neighboring
former Soviet republics in Central Asia. He
suggested a name like "Kazakh Eli", which translates to The Land of
the Kazakhs because that "would be more eye-catching for a foreigner
studying the region's map." </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #222222;">Planning for this
year’s Symposium is now well advanced and the booking form will soon appear on
the BCS website, so keep an eye out for it. This year we are going to be at the
Marwell Hotel and Conference Centre just south of Winchester and for the first time we will be
holding it as a joint event with the International Map Industry Association
(IMIA). The Symposium will begin on Tuesday with a joint session organised by the GIS
and Design SIGs running a ‘Mapathon’ to produce a map in a day. We are hoping
to attract lots of innovative new cartographers and it is the intention that
the winning map at the end of the day will be used to support a UK charity. In
the evening we also have a guest speaker from the RAF, explaining their role in
using aerial photography to support the flood relief activities in Southern England. The full Symposium sessions follow on
Wednesday and Thursday, including a mix of presentation and workshops and a
visit to the Ordnance Survey offices in Southampton.
And if you are a golfer then don’t miss the opportunity to play for The President’s
Golden Ball Trophy. This year we will be at East Horton Golf Club, just a
couple of miles from the Symposium venue, so even if you can’t make all of the
Symposium, please join us on Friday for the sporting spectacular.</span></span></div>

now live online at the <a href="http://www.cartography.org.uk/default.asp?contentID=579">BCS Website</a>.
There were some issues with the Awards process last year and we have totally
revamped the process to ensure that we know what is going to be submitted and
can track the submission of the entries ahead of the closing date at the end of
April. So if you have produced something notable in the last 12 months please
submit it for one or more of the Awards. Final judging will take place at
Google’s London
offices on 27<sup>th</sup> May and we are very grateful to Ed Parsons for
agreeing to host us. The winners of the Awards will be announced at the
Symposium Gala Dinner on Wednesday 25<sup>th</sup> June.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Did
some of your ancestors go west and settle in the US? Then this map might be
useful to help to find out where they may have ended up. This map achieves one
of the key design considerations of being very clear and
simple, whilst still conveying several pieces of information. The map shows the
top 25 surnames in each state. They are sized by their magnitude in the same
way as a proportional symbol to show quantitative information. Additionally,
colour is used to denote the origin country so patterns of historic migration
are easy to spot. All I can say is that there are an awful lot of Joneses,
right across the continent! The zoomable version on the National Geographic
website is the best way to view <a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/02/geography/usa-surnames-interactive">http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/02/geography/usa-surnames-interactive</a>.</span></div>

<![endif]--><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A belated Happy New Year to all. With Britain having
been lashed by wind and rain for the last month it is not a particularly
auspicious start to the year, but we can console ourselves that things can only
get better. Thankfully I live in a nice dry part of Woking,
not susceptible to flooding, but those who live along the River Wey will hope
that it can only get better as they are in for a rather wet time as this
extract from the Environment Agency website shows. The Agency actually
maintains a huge range of online maps covering a wide range of environmentally
related topics from floods to air pollution. So whatever may be impacting on
your local area, you should be able to find out more about it. Very good if you
are planning to move house, potentially catastrophic if you have just moved
into a flood risk area!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Monthly Bulletins for 2013 were all themed to reflect
anniversaries, linked to the 50<sup>th</sup> Anniversary of the Society itself.
I was considering what theme should run through 2014 and decided that it is
going to be best to just wait and see what happens. There are plenty of
cartographically related stories in the news on a regular basis, so I don’t see
myself struggling for topics anytime soon.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There is, of course, a significant commemorative event this
year in that we remember the 100<sup>th</sup> Anniversary of the start of the
First World War. The BCS are currently planning a series of posters to
illustrate this event with maps of the time to show how they were used and how they
developed during the course of the war. We are hoping to produce a poster each
year until 2018 to show the way in which the maps developed and how they kept
pace with the changing technology that was introduced onto the battlefield. The
first two are currently in work to provide a broad overview of the entire
conflict and to illustrate the situation at the outbreak and during the first
few months of war in 1914. Further details will be available via the website
soon.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><u>Livingmaps Seminars</u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A potentially interesting new set of seminars has recently been announced entitled "Livingmaps 2014, Map is not territory". This is a series of seven seminars exploring new directions in critical cartography. the seminars are focused on development of open source and reflect the fact that map making has been made much more widely available. Details of the seminar programme being held in London starting on 11th February and then running monthly can be found at the <a href="http://www.livingmaps.org.uk/">Livingmaps</a> website.<u> </u></span></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext;">There continues
to be a huge amount written on a daily basis about all aspects of cartography
and if I read every article, I suspect I wouldn’t get much else done. This
reflects very well on the cartographic industry in its broadest sense, giving a
clear indication that the industry is in rude health. One article that
particularly sparked my interest was entitled “The Land of Coding Cartography
and the Embrace of Technology”. </span><a href="http://www.graphicarto.com/the-land-of-coding/">Coding Cartography</a><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext;">. It starts with a rather contentious sentence “<i>Somewhere in the past few decades, cartographers have lost the control
of cartography</i>”, but goes on to explain very well how cartographers need to
keep pace with modern technology and ways of working. It recognizes that in
what can be a very visual profession, those used to working with colour
palettes may struggle with hex code and "if then" loops. But that is
not to say that the two cannot be successfully brought together to ensure that
we remain relevant and contemporary. Interestingly, Ken Field has commented on
the post “<i>It’s an art, a science AND a
technology. Knowing the first two won’t cut it if you don’t know the third</i>.”
Perhaps it’s time that we changed the strapline to our logo!</span></span></span></div>

2014 we will be publishing a short daily blog post titled ‘MapCarte’ to
showcase examples of map design that we feel represent some of the very best in
classic and contemporary cartography. The intent is to build a repository

emphasize the importance of map design. We believe there is no other similar

Each map will be illustrated and accompanied by a brief comment or two on why
we feel the map exhibits great design.</span></span></i></span></span></div>

of conveying great detail in monochrome. In fact I might even change my mind
and plump for the Hong Kong map as it’s where I cut my cartographic teeth back
in the early 1980s, working on Cordon Point Mapping of Hong
Kong when it was still a British possession. Back then I was
always impressed with how clear the maps were given the crowding of the island
and the immense amount of detail to be shown. I also struggled with translating
Mandarin into English to work out road names and key installations although
with practice I soon began to recognize the key "radicals" that made
up the characters.</span></span></span></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So we come to the final bulletin of our 50th<sup></sup> Anniversary Year
and December was obviously a quiet month in 1963! There are very few really
‘mappable’ events from 50 years ago, but one that does lend itself is <b>Kenya’s
independence</b>.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">“<i>Jomo

Nation Union, won the country's first general election.</i> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Thousands
of Kenyans ran through the rain-drenched streets of Nairobi tonight cheering at

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">At a time when the celebrations for the life of Nelson Mandela have just
taken place, there are some poignant echoes from Kenyatta’s speech in which he
said that although his government aimed to free itself from British
colonialism, it would not try to avenge past injustices. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Kenya is now the
biggest and most advanced economy in east and central Africa but it is still a
poor developing country. The important agricultural sector is one of the least
developed, employing 75 percent of the workforce. </span></span></div>

expansion, evidenced by strong performance in tourism, higher education and

period, from 19 Dec 1963 – 5 Jan 1964, the <b>Berlin Wall was opened for the first
time</b>, allowing West Berliners to visit family living in East Berlin during the
Christmas season. One-day permits were required. In what was a foretaste of
things to come, this could be considered a brave move on the part of the
authorities at the height of the Cold War.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: windowtext;">Under an agreement reached between East and West Berlin, over
170,000 passes were eventually issued to West Berlin citizens. Loudspeakers in
East Berlin greeted visitors with the news that they were now in "the
capital of the German Democratic Republic," a political division that most
West Germans refused to accept. Each visitor was also given a brochure that explained
that the wall was built to "protect our borders against the hostile
attacks of the imperialists." On the West Berlin side, many newspapers
berated the visitors, charging that they were pawns of East German propaganda.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I came across this
stunning piece of cartographic art via a twitter post and have been amazed by
the sheer scale of the Mapparium. This glass globe is located in the <a href="http://www.marybakereddylibrary.org/exhibits/mapparium">Mary BakerEddy Library in Boston, Massachusetts</a>. It is constructed of 608 glass panels
based on the 1934 Rand McNally world map. The Rambusch Glass Company artists traced these
maps onto 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick glass panels and painted them with a coloured
powdered glass mixture. Each panel was then fired in a kiln to fuse the colour
to the panel. Construction on the Mapparium began in April 1934 and by January
1935 the glass panels were being produced at a rate of about 50 per week, with
production accelerated to complete the entire project for June 1st 1935. Once
the panels were completed, they were fitted into the spherical bronze frame forming
a 10° by 10° graticule that holds the entire structure together. Finally, 300
light bulbs were installed to illuminate the globe from the outside. The total
cost for the project was about $35,000 (about $600K in current terms).</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Designed by Boston architect Chester Lindsay
Churchill, he called his installation the “Mapparium”. It was an immediate and
overwhelming success. Within the first four months, more than 50,000 people had
come to experience "being at the centre of the earth".</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Despite being on a concave surface, which is the complete opposite of
how we normally view a globe, it just looks right. Distances, areas and
relative locations are all perfectly maintained and as the eye is always the
same distance from the object, it doesn’t encounter the distortions that
looking at a normal globe introduce.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Mapparium was renovated in 1998 when a new light and sound system
was installed and the panels were cleaned and repaired. On three occasions in
1939, 1958, and again in 1966, different committees discussed updating the map
to reflect the geopolitical changes that had taken place since 1934. In 1966,
the estimated cost was $175,000 to create and install new glass panels. It was
decided that the Mapparium held much more value as an art object, and the idea
of updating it was finally dropped.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It remains the only one of its kind, a truly unique cartographic item. I
did muse in my twitter feed that it would be nice to have one on this side of
the Atlantic as well. We learnt a lot about the UK glass industry during the
Black Country Experience weekend, so if anyone knows of a donor with about £400,000
that they are looking to invest and a building with a space large enough to
house it please do let me know!</span></span></div>

on web cartography and designing for multiple media. There will still be an
opportunity to look at examples of what works and what doesn’t work and I came
across a good example recently of a map that at first glance looks good, but
then you start to see problems. I am not going to ‘name and shame', you will
have to come along to the seminars to find out. Suffice to say that it was
produced by a design company, not a cartographic firm and from their website you
do get the impression of a certain lack of understanding.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 63.75pt 0.0001pt 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Maps are a perfect example of the importance of
good information design. They are functional items and not like conventional
packaging or written instructions. Packaging has to be attractive, in the true
sense of the word, and information design must be attractive too, in order to
capture the readers’ attention in the first place. However, the primary
function of any map is to help the user to plan or find his way. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 63.75pt 0.0001pt 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Producing one that achieves this is no mean feat
and it is routinely under-estimated how complex a task it actually is – when
done well. Maps can fail in two basic ways: they can of course simply be
inaccurate and the outcome becomes obvious, but often only when used; they can
also fail when the factual content is sound, but presented poorly. Everything
on a map is symbolic and all facts are conveyed by implication alone. Maps are
not like written instructions and a high cognitive load is being put on the
user.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 63.75pt 0.0001pt 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Different situations require different mapping
solutions. A geographical map may be ideal in one context and a straight line
diagram better in another. Scale is usually very important and simply making a
map bigger or smaller is not what scale is about. Scale is about proportion and
content.”</span></span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Society AGM and talk</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The Society held it’s AGM on 25th November preceded by an EGM to consider a new category of membership. The Restless Earth schools programme is proving to be continually popular and the EGM passed the motion to create a new membership category of ‘Educational’. Five schools have already signed up as members and we hope to get more during the year. I will continue my monthly bulletins as I was elected to a second term of office as President and I would like to welcome Dr Alex Kent from Canterbury University as our new Vice President. There was competition for places on Council this year and I would like to congratulate David Forrest, Richard Carpenter and Steve Lambe for being re-elected and welcome our newest Council member, Jane Sprague. Over 100 ballot papers were returned this year, so thanks to all those who cast their votes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am also delighted to report that the AGM confirmed two new Honorary Fellows of BCS, Ann Sutherland, the convener of the Map Curators Special Interest Group for longer than I can remember, and Seppe Cassettari, former President of the Society. Congratulations to both Ann and Seppe on their well-deserved recognition. I was pleased to be able to present Ann with her certificate and citation at the AGM (it was the first time that I have ever known Ann speechless) and Seppe with his a few days later at the London Mapping Showcase.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our guest speaker after the AGM was <a href="http://www.twitter.com/nicholascrane">Nicholas Crane</a>, the TV presenter and author. Nick gave us a fascinating insight into how maps have influenced his career and life. He also proved himself to be the master of understatement recalling how he made “a little bike ride across the Gobi Desert’” and commenting that “there are some quite big hills” in the Himalayas. All in all it provided a very fitting end to the Society’s 50th Anniversary year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><u>Anniversaries</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Well, there is certainly no shortage of other 50th anniversaries for November, the most well publicised of which was probably <b>Dr Who</b>. Featured heavily on BBC for the last couple of months the 50th anniversary episode starred the last two Doctors, Matt Smith and David Tennant as well as the ‘War Doctor’, John Hurt. With plot twists that even the most ardent fan probably hadn’t seen coming the episode lived up to all the hype, well at least for this avid Doctor Who fan it did. I can remember the original Doctor played by William Hartnell and although I can’t say definitely that I saw the first episode (I was only 5) I do remember hiding behind an armchair when the Daleks appeared later in the series.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I know Ken Field has said that enough is enough, with all the ‘rip offs’ of the London Underground map and I must agree with him that many of them just use the format for the sake of it, but the one illustrated in part above is the exception to the rule. The complex interconnections of the 11 incarnations of the Time Lord are probably to be expected given that all laws of time and physics are bent out of shape, but the designer has done a great job of summarising a bewilderingly complex set of relationships. The full map can be purchased as a poster, <a href="http://www.crispian.net/DoctorWho/DrWhoTubeMap.html">for full details check out the website.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Fifty years ago there was a fairly dramatic requirement for maps and charts to be redrawn, when the island of <b>Surtsey </b>was created by volcanic action off the south coast of Iceland. It was formed by a volcanic eruption just over 400 feet below sea level and reached the surface in mid-November. Activity continued for 4 years and Surtsey reached a maximum size of just under 3 sq kms. Since the volcanic activity has stopped the island has shrunk due to erosion and is losing about 1 hectare of its area each year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Plant life has colonised the island and although these are mostly mosses and lichens, 69 species have now been recorded with an annual increase of 2 or 3 per year. Migratory birds are using the island and there are both gull and puffin colonies. Seals are also common. It’s particularly pleasing to note that human impact is minimal with only a small prefabricated hut used on a part-time basis by researchers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Iceland is the only spot where a mid-ocean ridge can be seen above water. Mid-ocean ridges are the seams that bisect the oceanic plates where magma comes up from the mantle below to form new crust. They are continuous lines of major volcanic activity, creating new ocean floor at rates up to 15 cm per year. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In order for people to remember and report on your death it’s obviously best for it not to coincide with one of the most iconic incidents of the 20th Century. It is said that everyone can remember where they were when the news of <b>President Kennedy’s assassination</b> was announced. Over the years many maps have been produced to show the relationship of the book depository to the Presidential motorcade and whether or not shots fired from the ‘grassy knoll’ were feasible or simply a matter of conjecture and conspiracy theory. Even now, 50 years after the event, those conspiracy theories still abound and as well as Doctor Who taking over our TVs, there were also a fair few programmes about that fateful day in downtown Dallas. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On the same day, two very significant authors also died, <b>C.S. Lewis</b>, the author most famous for the Narnia books, and <b>Aldous Huxley</b>, author of Brave New World. Their fate went relatively unreported however as the assassination of an American President was the only thing being covered by the news channels at the time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The UXblog from IDV solutions came to my attention this month with its list of 20 unrequested map tips. Whilst I don’t necessarily agree with all of them, there is a lot of common sense and for anyone looking for some simple and effective ways to improve their maps, this is not a bad place to start. </span><a href="http://uxblog.idvsolutions.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">http://uxblog.idvsolutions.com/</span></a></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What makes a map bad? This is potentially a contentious question as what will appeal to some may horrify others and as with many forms of art, there is a great deal of subjectivity. I think we can agree, however, that poor design is likely to lead to a poor map. A recent article at </span><a href="http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/3087/what-makes-a-map-be-classed-as-badly-designed"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/3087/what-makes-a-map-be-classed-as-badly-designed</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> is worth a read for some of the topics it explores and as the author says, “A poorly designed map can not only look visually unappealing, but can convey the wrong message, which could lead to bad decisions being made.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In order to be completely objective there are those who would defend ‘bad maps’, even if they can’t spell ‘Defence’. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The blog at </span><a href="http://www.axismaps.com/blog/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">http://www.axismaps.com/blog/</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> makes some valid points and reminds us that we shouldn’t be too judgmental or act as the ‘carto police’.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I must admit to being a sucker for a hand-drawn map and as an Oxfordshire lad as well, I was particularly taken with the map of Oxford produced by Jane Tomlinson. I contacted Jane and she kindly sent me an extract and gave permission for it to be used in this issue of the bulletin. Jane is an artist rather than a cartographer, but has put down her paint and brushes and taken up a pen and ink to draw by hand a map of Oxford, the city she adopted as home nearly 30 years ago. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There will always be a degree of subjectivity about what is and isn’t included, especially when you have a city like Oxford with such a rich history. I’m impressed that it only took Jane 9 weeks to complete the research and work out what to include and what of necessity to leave out. Her website includes the statement, “The map of Oxford is (she says) the ’final’ map she will draw. (But she’s said that before…)”. I do hope not as there are a lot more places that lend themselves to this sort of depiction.</span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">GeoDATA 2013</span></u><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Having attended four of the GeoDATA events run by the GeoInformation Group this year I can say how great they have been for promoting the message that BCS has to get across and for offering the opportunity for some fascinating networking across the whole cartographic and GI community.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The series of GeoDATA events culminated with the Mapping Showcase in London attended by over 100 exhibitors and with over 650 registered delegates. The BCS stand proved to be very popular and although we had four members manning the stand we were all kept very busy. There was a steady stream of enquiries all day long and we talked to a lot of people. We signed up 12 new members, which took us over 100 new members for the year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">An interesting trend emerged from those we talked to as many were from the Local Government sector. A couple of years ago we considered the idea of setting up a <b>Local Government Special Interest Group</b>, but it didn’t really gain traction as we struggled to identify what the key themes would be. Given the obvious interest in cartography and the need to provide training and resources, I have asked the Membership Committee to see what we can do to engage with this community. It may result in the establishment of a new SIG or it might be something less formal such as a discussion group. To enable us to best identify what is required we would love to hear from you if you work in the Local Government sector. Please contact me at the e-mail below, so that we can target our initial consultation</span></div>

<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The <st1:place w:st="on">Panama
Canal</st1:place> was finally completed in October 1913. The 48 mile
long canal connects the Atlantic Ocean to the <st1:place w:st="on">Pacific
Ocean</st1:place> and is a key element for international maritime trade. There
are locks at each end to lift ships up to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Gatun</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Lake</st1:placetype></st1:place>,
85 ft above sea level. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Gatun</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">Lake</st1:placetype></st1:place> was created to
reduce the amount of work required for the canal. The current locks are
110 ft wide. A third, wider lane of locks is currently under construction
and is due to open in 2015.</span></span><st1:country-region style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><span lang="EN"> </span></st1:place></st1:country-region><br />

The <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region> later took over the project and took a decade to finally complete the canal in 1913. The first traffic through the canal was not until the following year in 1914. The new route allowed ships to reduce their journey times considerably and also avoided the often treacherous passage around <st1:place w:st="on">Cape Horn</st1:place>.</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span>
<br />
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The project must have been a nightmare for
geographers and mapmakers alike as during the construction period, the
ownership of the territory that is now the <st1:place w:st="on">Panama Canal</st1:place>
was first Colombian, then French, and then American. When <st1:country-region w:st="on">Panama</st1:country-region> became independent in 1903, the new government authorized French businessman Philippe
Bunau-Varilla, to negotiate a treaty with the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>. The
Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty allowed the <st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region>
to build the <st1:place w:st="on">Panama Canal</st1:place> and provided for
perpetual control of a zone five-miles wide on either side of the canal.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A lot of the material for this bulletin comes from monitoring
Twitter for a particularly interesting or novel comment or tweet on any manner
of things cartographic. I usually make a short note on my ipad and then come
back to it as the month goes on to incorporate the salient details. One of my
notes this month was “cartoblography dark maps”. When I subsequently searched
for this it came up with an article by Ordnance Survey’s Charley Glynn from
June, so it’s one I must have missed first time round. He points out that we
have become accustomed to viewing maps with a light or white background, most
likely due to the fact that the medium being used for distribution would be
white paper. It just doesn’t make economic sense to coat a piece of paper with
dark ink. The examples of ‘dark maps’ on the website are certainly different
and challenge some of our traditional views of maps and as Charley contends “There is something cool, aesthetically pleasing and eye-catching about dark maps.” <a href="http://cartoblography.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/dark-maps-trending/">Check out the website to see if you agree. </a><o:p></o:p></span>

<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Our schools
programme looks like setting a record this year. We have already run two
workshops, in Penarth and Godalming, with another 15 to come during the
academic year. Over 60 schools have now attended a workshop and we are
hopefully convincing the next generation of the importance of geography and
cartography. Speaking to teachers it would appear that the numbers of students
taking geography is on the increase again and our workshops are certainly at
capacity at every school we go to.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We rely primarily
on BCS members and RGS Ambassadors to deliver these workshops and whilst we
have a good team assembled, it would be nice to involve more of our membership.
With venues ranging from the Lake District to <st1:place w:st="on">Devon</st1:place>,
there must be one near you, so if you could come along and help out on the day
we would love to see you there. Please email me at <a href="mailto:Peter.Jones991@mod.uk">Peter.Jones991@mod.uk</a></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We have also just updated our flyer to include a map of schools we have visited so please check it out to see where future opportunities may be. <a href="http://www.cartography.org.uk/downloads/RestlessEarthFlyer.pdf">Latest Restless Earth Flyer</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

shamefacedly I now have to say that the eagle-eyed amongst you spotted that
despite the fact that it had an ‘LE’ postcode, Hothorpe Hall is in
Northamptonshire! Not quite as bad as a bus load of cartographers getting lost
on the way to Keele and just goes to show that we are human!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This was an event not without controversy and on
18th September rioters burned down the British Embassy in Jakarta to protest
against the formation of Malaysia. Some of the difficulties were related to
historical and local factors as the new Federation brought together widely
separated territories with very mixed populations at different stages of
development. The Indonesian Government was particularly critical with the
President describing the formation of Malaysia as a colonialist project with
concerns that its formation would weaken the region and lead to the southward
march of Communist China.</span></span><br />

much a celebration of our 50 years. Professor Mike Wood, one of our founder
members, cut the birthday cake; the event was attended by a host of past
Presidents; we had more delegates than in many recent years and the programme
ran very smoothly. The content of presentations offered a mix of old and new,
with both retrospectives of the last 50 years and some cutting edge
developments. Our keynote session was the only one which gave me more grey
hairs, where I very quickly learnt that trying to keep Chief Executives to time
is a virtually impossible task. A full report on the Symposium is in the issue
of Maplines that is about to arrive with you.</span></span></div>

death of the paper map, it would appear that there is life in paper yet and
that there will continue to be so for some time to come. Nicolson, has reported
a 10 per cent rise in sales of motoring atlases over the past year, especially
among older motorists. </span></span></span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN">The AA has also seen a surge in demand for its
atlases in recent months, suggesting at the very least, drivers want the
reassurance of an up-to-date map in the car as well as their satnav. I think it
is ‘up-to-date’ that is key here as the UK’s road network changes by up to 15%
per year and an old road atlas is as likely to cause you problems as a satnav
that doesn’t have a regular update feature.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN">With news stories seeming to delight in pointing
out when satnavs get it wrong, does this indicate that there is a backlash
against the metallic voice urging a driver to make a sudden u-turn in the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN">Interestingly the comments in the article from
motoring organisations are supportive of the use of atlases, probably because
they represent a major income stream and perhaps the “belt-and-braces” approach
to route-finding that is mentioned is the sensible compromise. For the full

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN">The author’s contention is
that because a web map is competing for the attention of its users in a medium
where rapid access is all important and users flit from one page to the next
very quickly, your map needs to grab the attention very quickly to avoid the
user navigating elsewhere.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN">For those of us not fully
familiar with the world of web design, when a user only visits your page for a
second and then navigates away again, usually via the back button, it is called
a “bounce”. Reducing the "bounce rate" for your page is apparently
the major factor in web design!</span></span></span></div>

that neither is going to win any cartographic awards and even though they are
both displaying exactly the same data the one on the left is most likely to engage
a visitor. The use of bold colours and large fonts lends itself to display on a
small screen and captures the user's attention more readily, thus reducing the "bounce

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Cartographic professionals and enthusiasts from around
the world gathered together for four days of presentations, debate, networking
and social activities at the British Cartographic Society’s 50th Annual
Symposium. Set in the historic surroundings of the 18th century Hothorpe Hall
in Leicestershire the anniversary event took place from 3-6 September and

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"><b>“This was a hugely rewarding event for all involved,”</b> commented
Mr Peter Jones MBE, President of the British Cartographic Society, “truly
fitting for our 50th year. We are now looking forward to further anniversary celebrations
continuing into the autumn when we will be delighted to welcome Jack
Dangermond, sometimes referred to as ‘the father of GIS’, and well known
broadcaster Nicholas Crane to forthcoming events.”</span></span></span><br />

<u><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="line-height: 150%;">About
the Symposium</span></b></span></span></u>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Sessions included the Map Curators workshop, Special
Interest Group (SIG) meetings as well as presentations from commercial
organisations and academic institutions. The opening ceremony was followed by
the Helen Wallis Memorial Lecture delivered by Nick Millea, Map Librarian at
the Bodleian Library in Oxford.
This included the hugely relevant quote from Alfred Wainwright’s A Pennine
Journey ‘Give me a map to look at, and I am content’. </span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">One of the highlights of the Symposium was the heads of
the five British Mapping and Charting agencies coming together to discuss the future
of mapping. This keynote presentation – ‘probably the most important conference
session held in the UK, this year, on the future of mapping’ – saw Vanessa
Lawrence CB, Director General and Chief Executive of the Ordnance, extol the
importance of cartography in an age when so many people had become map makers
while Paul Hancock, Director of the Defence Geographic Centre explained how
geography had become a vital element in conflict. John Wilkinson, Chief Executive Land and Property Services, Rear Admiral
Ian Moncrieff, CBE, Chief Executive of United Kingdom Hydrographic Office and
Professor John Ludden, Executive Director of the British Geological Survey all
contributed to the session which was well received by the audience. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The British Cartographic Society (founded in 1963, and
celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year) has been recognising
good map design through their Awards since 1978. The Awards system is designed to
encourage entrants across all cartographic disciplines, and to showcase
products created through traditional, new or experimental techniques. They aim
to promote the best of cartographic products and highlight excellent cartographic
design in the UK and abroad. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As with July,
another infamous criminal incident was making the headlines in the UK 50 years
ago. The Great Train Robbery, originally referred to as the Cheddington Mail
Van Raid took place on August 8th 1963. Just over £2.6M, equivalent
to £41M today, was stolen. <span lang="EN">The plan
was to intercept and rob the overnight Glasgow to London mail train. The train
was halted by a red signal that had been rigged by the robbers just after
passing through Leighton Buzzard. The driver, secondsman and the staff manning
the high value coach were all overpowered. The train was then moved a few
hundred yards down the line to </span>Bridego Bridge, now renamed as Train
Robbers bridge, where the money was offloaded into a lorry. The gang then made
their way to their hideout at Leatherslade Farm, some 25 miles away. Although I
was only 5 at the time, I can remember the events vaguely, primarily because
the hideout was only about 10 miles from my family home in Bicester<span lang="EN">.</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN">Most of the gang were captured, and some infamously subsequently escaped. Despite the fact that no firearms were used, the gang were given hefty sentences of 25-30 years.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On <span lang="EN">28th August 1963 </span>Martin Luther King delivered his ‘I have a dream’ address in Washington DC as part of the <span lang="EN">March on Washington. It was here that he established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history. Although toned down due to presidential pressure from John F Kennedy, the march made specific demands: an end to racial segregation in public schools; meaningful civil rights legislation, including a law prohibiting racial discrimination in employment; protection of civil rights workers from police brutality and a $2 minimum wage for all workers. Despite tensions, the march was a resounding success. More than 250,000 people of diverse ethnicities attended the event and at the time, it was the largest gathering of protesters in Washington, D.C.'s history.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">King delivered a 17-minute speech, and in the speech's most famous passage—in which he departed from his prepared text, King said:<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<div style="margin: 5pt 49.6pt 5pt 42.55pt;">
</div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN"><o:p></o:p></span><i><span lang="EN">“I say to you today, my
friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still
have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. </span></i><i><span lang="EN">I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true
meaning of its creed: '<b>We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men
are created equal.</b>'</span></i><br /><i><span lang="EN">
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former
slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at
the table of brotherhood. </span></i><i><span lang="EN">I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering
with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be
transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. </span></i><i><span lang="EN">I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where
they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their
character.</span></i><br /><i><span lang="EN">
I have a dream today.</span></i><br /><i><span lang="EN">
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with
its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and
nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black
girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as
sisters and brothers.</span></i><br /><i><span lang="EN">
I have a dream today.”</span></i></span><br />
<div style="margin-right: 49.6pt;">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have read and re-read this passage several times, trying to see if I could condense it for this bulletin, but in the end have decided to leave it as is. It is a powerful piece of oratory that 50 years later sounds strange to our ears in its choice of language and yet still resonates in a world where racial problems persist.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN">One of the inevitable results of the
‘democratisation’ of cartography is that anyone can now easily access map
making tools, but the lack of any training or instruction in some of the
cartographic basics means that the results are often not pleasing on the eye,
nor do they get across their intended message.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The biennial ICC was
held in Dresden at the end of August and was the prelude to the events of <a href="http://www.twitter.com/#maptember">#maptember</a>. This was the first one that I had been to and I was not sure what to
expect. It is a major international gathering and the event attracted nearly
1200 delegates from 81 countries. Although I didn’t get round to meeting all of
them, the BCS stand was quite popular and a number of people expressed interest
in joining with one delegate even signing up on the day. Our international
membership is quite strong and it was good to meet several of our overseas
members including Roger Smith from New Zealand, who will be joining us at
Symposium next week and must win the prize for travelling the furthest to be
there! There was a strong UK presence at the Conference, many of whom were BCS
members. The range of topics covered was impressive, reflecting the work of the
many commissions of the ICA, several of which are chaired by UK delegates.<br />I thoroughly enjoyed the
week and found it very educational and entertaining in equal parts. The
conference was conducted almost exclusively in English and I never cease to be
slightly embarrassed by the fact that we tend to be lazy when it comes to
languages, although the variable standard of English at the Conference did lead
to the occasional translation glitch. I think my favourite new term is
“aggressive crossroads”. I think we’ve all been there!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dresden is a very nice city, sensitively reconstructed after
1945 and proved to be a great host venue. It is fairly compact as a city making
it easy to get around and with a direct flight from London City Airport, I can
recommend it for a weekend city break. The local organising committee had done
a fantastic job with the programme and the Conference itself ran extremely
smoothly. I think the one thing to take away though is the tag line that the
ICA President Georg Gartner used to conclude his welcoming speech at the start
of the Conference, “<b>It’s okay to be a
cartographer</b>”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The next ICC Conference, in 2015, will be in Rio de Janeiro,
sandwiched between the Football World Cup and the Olympics and the team from
Rio were doing a great job of marketing it as a venue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As I sit writing this at 6:30 on a Saturday morning, the BCS
Symposium is now only a couple of days away. Numbers attending are well up on
previous years and for the first time I can remember we are now ‘full’. The
programme looks particularly strong this year, especially with the heads of the
five major UK mapping organisations presenting in the keynote session. Add to
this the 50th anniversary celebrations, being attended by 11 former
BCS Presidents, and the reason for the popularity this year is apparent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Leicestershire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
