传统制图被认为是对高度受限的主要基于纸笔的技术的最佳回应。虽然手工制图的许多惯例似乎是明智的选择，但它们是在一个极其受限制的环境中制定的，这种环境强加了对现实的有限看法。早期的数字技术几乎没有扩大限制，并将制图、地图分析和空间分析引向不同的方向。最近的硬件和深入研究的结果已经产生了一种数字制图，它可以成功地模仿它的模拟母体。然而，它真正的潜力在于不那么传统的分析和显示方法，以及它能在多大程度上摆脱传统的限制。
Traditional cartography is seen as an optimal response to a highly constrained technology based largely on pen and paper. Although many of the conventions of manual cartography appear to be intelligent choices, they have nevertheless been made in an extremely restricted environment which imposes a limited view of reality. Early digital technology did little to broaden the constraints, and led cartography, map analysis and spatial analysis in different directions. More recent hardware and the results of intensive research have produced a digital cartography which can successfully emulate its analogue parent. However, its true potential lies in less conventional methods of analysis and display and in the degree to which it can escape its traditional constraints.
