Mapa a la Carta, developed by Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) in 2021, enables users to create customized maps or aerial photos by selecting area of interest, scale, title, color, and overlays. Unlike the traditional fixed-sheet model, the platform allows fully tailored maps in digital or paper formats, generated within minutes. The application leverages open-source tools and web services to provide an intuitive, flexible, and sustainable way of accessing updated geographic information.
