Digital mapping has some characteristics, such as, invisibility, flexibility, selectivity, reality, data security problem, information carrier variety, offering spatial data and cartographic factor dy namicoverlying, etc.The article analyzed the function of digital mapping and its characteristics.Moreover, the thought and ac-cess about digital mapping connected with remote sensing and GIS are put forward.Meanwhile, some key prob 1 lems are emphasized including data acquisition and updating and visualization and virtual reality.The application prospect of digital mapping is forecasted.
