there is only 1 carto question. It should be cartography I think.

(Because it helps to have an official reply.)
It turns out carto refers to software by that name rather than cartography in general, which is the purpose of the cartography tag. It's unclear just what software that is, though:
CartoMap Pro, "free GIS software"?
CartoMerge image integration software?
Carto, software for making cave maps?
TSF-Carto, "cartography simulation" (whatever that is) for wireless networks?
Carto, a "more complex mapping application"?
Carto to manage and support heat exchanger inspections? (OK, probably not.)
I gave up the search at this point. It might be a little unfair to conclude that "carto" is an unimaginative, useless term to include in the name of one's software, but it's hard not to go there given this evidence... .
BTW, just how does a cartography "simulation" differ from cartography itself? :-)
