Technological advances have enabled the emergence of new ways of representing the Earth's surface, widely adopted by geographers and other researchers. Furthermore, they facilitated the development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which enable the creation of maps in a more agile and precise way, simultaneously integrating different sources of georeferenced information, such as statistics, aerial photographs, orthophoto maps and satellite images.#NL # During field expeditions, geographers often use cartographic sketches to represent in a simplified way the elements that make it possible to understand the characteristics of a given area. However, in various everyday situations, it is common to resort to mental representations of space, known as mental maps.
