Disadvantages of Cartography
Cartography is prone to human error: Since maps are designed and drawn by humans, it is possible to paste human error hence giving distorted information.
Shapes may be distorted: Maps, especially the printed maps on paper may give distorted information or the shapes and objects may easily be compromised.
The scale is variable hence it is not a true map: Maps depend on variation in scale to represent a large area. This is not a true representation of the real world area and may give incomplete information.
No map is ever completely accurate or complete: Although cartography has enabled the representation of areas on maps, there is no guarantee that maps are complete or accurate. There will always be some level of error or incompleteness in the representations.

Advantages of cartography
⏺️Less artistic skills are required to reproduce
⏺️Colors and patterns are easier to apply
⏺️It is easier to make changes
⏺️Easy conversion of maps projections
⏺️Integration is easy
⏺️Maps can be maintained and updated much faster
Disadvantages of Cartography
⏺️Cartography is prone to human error
⏺️Shapes may be distorted
⏺️The scale is variable hence it is not a true map
⏺️No map is ever completely accurate or complete
⏺️Maps only show relevant features and veils the unnecessary features
