The digital cartography of GIS frees map-makers from many of the constraints inherent in traditional (non-GIS) paper mapping. This is because:

2.The paper map is of fixed extent and adjoining map sheets must be used if a single map sheet does not cover the entire area of interest.
3.Most paper maps present a static view of the world whereas conventional paper maps and charts are not adept at portraying dynamics
