Cartography-related Forums

A weblog for members of the Canadian Cartographic Association and other individuals interested in all things cartographic

There are a few cartography-related forums or discussion groups on the web (in no particular order):

Cartotalk - this group has been in existence for about a year and bills itself as a forum for cartographic professionals. Much of the focus seems to be on the technical aspects of cartography.
DirectionsMag - has a number of discussion groups going, none of them specifically dedicated to cartography but all cartograpghy-related. The focus here is on software-specific.
geocommunity - runs a geomatics-focused discussion group that includes cartographic issues but again, the focus tends to be more software-specific.
ESRI - hosts its own cartography discussion group but the postings are pretty thin.

And then, of course, there’s the CCA’s own email list. To subscribe go the the CCA webpage.
