International Cartographic Association

The International Cartographic Association, or simply ICA, is a group of people from all around the world who love to make maps. You know, maps are pictures that show us places and how to get there.

This group of map-makers work together to create better and more accurate maps for everyone to use. They help each other to make sure that the maps they create are easy to read and understand. They also use technology like computers and satellites to make really cool and detailed maps.

The ICA also organizes events where map-makers from different countries can come together and share their maps, ideas and techniques with each other. This way, they can learn from one another and make maps that are even better than before.

In summary, the International Cartographic Association is a group of people who love to make maps and work together to make sure everyone has access to the most accurate and easy-to-use maps possible.
