ABSTRACT
Today, there is a lot more pressure on us. We are expected to be able to create effective maps at the outsets of our careers, probably due to everyone’s growing comfort with map-at-your-fingertips technology like Google Earth, Microsoft Virtual Earth, MapQuest, Yahoo! Maps, and so on. The field of GIS has matured to a point where it is not only being used more and more but is also challenged more and more.
