Digital cartographers are the mapping scientists who collect aerial photographs of earth, plants, animals, and people and create charts, and maps based on their study. This profession is the most challenging one in the field of geography. The cartographers have to travel to distant places to survey forest, and land despite adverse weather conditions and take aerial photos. The photos is then used for creating maps for navigational, national security, and other purposes. As technology has stepped in, these professionals use Geographic Information System (GIS) for survey and mapmaking.
