Abstract
The term multimedia was not in wide usage until the late 1970s and its exploitation by the mapping sciences did not begin until the mid-1980s with the advent of the laserdisc and CD-ROM. The mapping sciences have always adopted new technology for making their products more accurate, more quickly produced and produced in formats that were attuned to user expectations and requirements. Multimedia was no exception.
