Cartographic
drafting is a major activity in the Geological Survey. As subdivision
of Geo-Information; Cartography is responsible for the processing
of regional and thematic maps and the drafting of illustrations
by using GIS software applications. In addition Coreldraw and Autocad
are used for the drafting of small scale maps and diagrams for publications
in national and international journals. |

Data
capture is done by using the programs Arc/Info, Arcmap, Autocad
and Coreldraw by way of digitizing from scanned data (images) and
the use of digitizing tables.Digitizing (data capture) is a very
time consuming exercise and made up the bulk the cartographic workload.
GIS supports several views for working with geographic information: Geodatabase
view: Toolbox;
