;Current translation effort (fr-en)
Some map-related tutorials in the process of translation from French into English at :
*[[User:JaneVannin/translations/topographic]] (80%)
 
== Drawing tutorials ==
;Conventions
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions]] - already 6 conventions available, some strongly supported by specific teams.
 
;Main resources
* '''[[:commons:Category:Location_maps_(2008_standard)|Location_maps (2008 standard)]]'''
 
;Tutorials
* '''[[:media:Tutorial-cartography_(basic).svg]]''' - Tutorial for beginner on using inkscape (done a 90%), download, open in Inkscape, and do the exercises.

== Map tutorials ==
There is a list of existing map tutorials, further; more are welcome !. French users have provideprovided somessome, and traductionstranslations into English would be welcome.
 
ToThe best places to obtain some SVG map background, the best placebackgrounds are thelisted categoryin '''[[:commons:Category:SVG maps|SVG maps]]''', and even moreparticularly '''[[:commons:Category:Location_maps_(2008_standard)|Location_maps (2008 standard)]]''' and their respective sub-pages. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions|'''Map conventions and toolbox''']] also provide six helpful conventions, some strongly supported by specific teams. The tutorials below follow the learning waytraining of ana hypothetical new map maker,: morethe deeper you go down, the more that's complex...complexity and beautifulbeauty ;)you find.
