Abstract
Cartography has made great advances propitiated by technological progress and by theoretical and experimental research. Thus, the techniques are no longer totally analog and became digital, dynamic and interactive. With the advent of new techniques and new tools for spatial representation, users have demanded more, and for those just a simple static and two-dimensional cartographic representation of space was no longer enough. In fact, the analog printed maps no longer attract most users, and an increasing number of WebMaps, multimedia and interactive maps earned place. To represent the geographical space, the use of dynamic environments, where interaction has become essential is now necessary. Thus, Digital Cartography have gained prominence, which is not only the transformation of manual methods into automated processes, but is a medium to explore new ways of representing geographical space, making the development of more dynamic and interactive maps. This research is a literature review and intends to expose some considerations relating to highlight that digital cartography has taken in academia. This paper aims to analyze the research field on the terms Analog and Digital Cartography. This is a literature review based in journals, magazines and scientific articles published in Brazil. In addition to a literature review of concepts and their history within the Brazilian science, as a result of the survey, was obtained a diagnosis of relevance in which these issues were treated at the national level in recent years, presented by products (text and graphical analysis) generated from the survey.
