About the Project

Prompt Cartography is a companion site to the forthcoming book that treats prompts as purposeful design briefs for web maps. The goal: help you turn cartographic intent into reproducible outcomes—without copy-pasting vendor styles or tool-specific jargon.

What you’ll find here

• Hands-on labs that reinforce concepts from the book.
• A growing library of schemas, checklists, and example data.
• The author’s blog on prompt craft and map design.
• Links to code examples and the public GitHub repository.
