“…In fact, the majority of the existing maps of Tanzania use ArcGIS or QGIS (e.g. Schweikart et al 2014;Nijbroek and Andelman 2016;Koskikala et al 2020;Mseli et al 2021). This is mostly explained by the relative simplicity of the traditional GIS.…”

Cartographic visualization is a key means for the analysis of the Earth's environmental processes. In view of the rapidly increasing multi-source data, cartographic approaches are updated accordingly. Mapping of countries characterized by complex geologic settings, such as Tanzania, requires implementation of advanced approaches. Cartographic solutions for the best visualization aim to provide elaborate content in an understandable and interoperable way in multi-disciplinary studies. This study presents such an approach by using Generic Mapping Tools (GMT), R and QGIS for cartographic mapping of Tanzania, with five maps addressing the natural setting (geology, topography, geophysics) and four maps showing the geomorphometric analysis. The 2D maps and the 3D mesh model were made by the traditional Geographic Information System (GIS) and scripting approaches. The features of the geomorphometric maps (slope, aspect, hillshade, elevation) were plotted by means of R. The technical methods are illustrated by the example of scripts. The paper contributes to the regional studies of Tanzania.

The first generation of digital, and subsequently online, regional atlases did only little to reconceptualize the idea behind this established cartographic category. Using the case study of a regional atlas for Central Asia, the authors propose a fundamental re-thinking as a usercentric and target-group-specific front end for emerging Spatial Data Infrastructures. 'Next generation' regional atlases are anticipated as open frameworks based upon distributed online services; extensible, mashable, and modifiable, flexibly adjusting to situated devices.Regional or national atlases rarely followed established principles or modelled after some blueprint, but were often tied to research initiatives resulting in unique and even outstanding products. Examples are the Salzburg-Atlas (LENDL et al. 1955), pioneering the use GI_Forum -Journal for Geographic Information Science, 1-2015. © Herbert Wichmann Verlag, VDE VERLAG GMBH, Berlin/Offenbach.
