Abstract
The computer is playing an increasing role in Canadian Cartography. Developments in the field of thematic computer cartography have been less spectacular than those in automated cartography. This paper describes an operational system for thematic computer cartography, GIMMS; now mounted at Carleton University. It is argued that the availability of systems of this type will help realize the potential of the computer in thematic mapping.Keywords
