Sumario:This paper reflects upon the outcomes of the application of interactive multimedia / integrated media for the development and the delivery of geographical information tools. It begins with a reflective description of the progression from analogue media to discrete digital media to distributed media to collaborative distributed media. Each of these stages in the application of New Media technologies to cartography is illustrated with examples of prototype products developed by the author for evaluation of their applicability to the representation of geography. It then addresses the currently available technologies and their impact on cartography and geographical visualisation. Finally, the paper projects on the future possibilities for utilising interactive integrated media for developing and delivering cartographic representations.
