This paper emphasizes the role of cartographic modelling of tourist routes in the Carpathians in the context of the development of tourist mapping. It describes the distinguished features of Transcarpathian and Eastern Carpathian tourist routes as the objects of mapping. These routes are extremely popular among tourists due to their remarkable recreational and touristic value. Tourist map series fulfil the needs of tourists and also form a relevant and promising practical area of modern geographical mapping. We systematise the principles and describe the methodological basis of cartographic modelling of tourist routes in the Carpathians. We particularly detail the peculiarities of the decoration of tourist maps. Our research contributes to the development of the integral system of spatial, visual, complementary, and comparative information about the region's location, conditions, and features of natural, historical, cultural and socio-economic tourist resources.

Among the electronic learning tools for teaching geography and history, interactive cartographic guides play a significant role. Their creation requires the development of methodological approaches to their designing. In this article, we explain the essence of educational electronic cartographic guides, reveal the methodological aspects of their creation and describe the specifics of their content. We use the modern approaches to the formation of cartographic images. We also highlight the basic requirements for educational electronic cartographic guides, present the technological scheme of creation of a typical educational electronic guide, and give recommendations for their editorial preparation.
