Where a cartographer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a cartographer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Cartographers create maps by combining various scientific informations depending of the purpose of the map (e.g. topographic, urban, or political maps). They combine the interpretation of mathematical notes and measurements with the aesthetics and visual depiction of the site for developing the maps. They may also work on developing and improving geographic information systems and may perform scientific research within cartography.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a cartographer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
