Abstract
The present article analyzes the emergence of an electronic cartography, virtualized and relational, that is laced as a movement of transformation and reconfiguration of conventional cartography by incorporating innumerable electronic devices (geotechnologies) and the diffusion of geographic information through the networks, especially the Internet. This movement brings to the center of Cartography a series of implications on cartographic thinking that reflected in social practices and society in general, inaugurating new virtualized spatialities and territories with profound implications in absolute space.
