Abstract: It is widely accepted that to produce a map students need to be able to think spatially. This article does not question the importance of spatial thinking, but it argues that to produce a geographically sound map, that is a map that does not only show where things are, but that tries to answer a geographical question, it is also relevant to be able to think geographically. In its empirical part it shows that students who are half-way through their studies to become teachers often lack this ability which inevitably has repercussions for school geography.

GIS as a technology has come a long way, from the
early adoption of technical wizardry to the ubiquitous,
if unconscious use by the masses. The creation
of the GISociety is on its way through technological
development, theoretical and empirical scientific
research and inclusion of technology into education
with increasing pedagogical justification.
Defining new dimensions of hard- and software,
brainware and orgware are all needed to further
develop the GISociety.
