Computers allow us to combine maps from different sources and different
scales more easily. In the past, these variations had to be ignored or only
partly solved. With the advent of computers and increased digital
maps, these
inconsistencies become glaring errors that should no longer be ignored. The
final success of a project largely lies on the accuracy and validity of its
maps.
This paper discusses problems and solutions associated with trying to tie
maps together. The paper concentrates on the importance of understanding map
projections and the problems involved in adding new maps to existing digital
maps.
