The map is the basic tool of interactive, dynamic geospatial research. The complex structure of geodata is necessary to be graphically interpreted with the help of cartographical presentation (locational and
attributional). The synergy of cartographic visualization, generalization and cartographic methods enables
efficient implementation of geosystem analysis. Geovisualization includes a range of activities according to
research, systematization, classification and typification, analysis and synthesis, comparison, presentation to
the interpretation of occurrences and processes in geospace. The cartographic translation is a complex process
of visualization of geo-data, based on the scientific procedures of generalizing the content of the map using
the cartographic method. The gnoseological sense of the cartographic method is also the primary goal of
geovisualization: - spatial definition of the phenomenon, - time correlation of the phenomenon and processes of
actual reality and their evolution, and - essential definition of the phenomenon and processes of actual reality.
The cognitive sense of cartographic visualization is primarily achieved through the procedures of cartographic
generalizations. Digital technology provides great opportunities for modern cartographic visualization. Besides
realistic, virtual maps are of great importance too. Visual dynamic representations of geo-data (interactive
visualization of spatial databases) and the creation of detailed 3D and 4D models are continually increasing.
Digital data processing enables new dimensions of data analysis, and the process implies generalizing data
from the source database while respecting different geo-data attributes, as well as adequate graphical solutions
in displaying a generalizable data set
