Abstract Abstract Planetary maps are powerful tools for the visualization of the formerly unknown planetary surfaces. The appropriate use of visualization and nomenclature is essential for making planetary maps that can be used by both professionals and the general public. This article describes an international mapping project that has produced several maps of the terrestrial planets and the Moon. The maps were published separately, as educational wall maps, and also appeared together in a world atlas. To select the most effective visual tools and nomenclature, we conducted a map reader perception study at the Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary, which is discussed in detail. The second part of the article describes the current system of planetary nomenclature, highlighting some of its problems, with special attention to its localization for bi- or multilingual planetary maps. Résumé Les cartes planétaires sont de puissants outils permettant de visualiser des surfaces planétaires auparavant inconnues. L’emploi adéquat de la visualisation et de la nomenclature est essentiel lors de l’élaboration de cartes planétaires pouvant servir aux professionnels comme au grand public. L’article décrit un projet international de cartographie qui a engendré l’élaboration de plusieurs cartes de planètes telluriques et de la Lune. Les cartes ont été publiées séparément sous forme de cartes murales éducatives et sont regroupées dans un atlas mondial. Pour sélectionner la nomenclature et les outils visuels les plus efficaces, on a mené à l’université Eötvös Loránd, en Hongrie, une étude sur la perception lors de la lecture d’une carte. Cette étude fait l’objet d’une discussion détaillée dans la première partie de l’article. Dans la deuxième partie, on décrit le système actuel de nomenclature planétaire et on souligne certains problèmes qui lui sont associés; une attention spéciale est accordée à la localisation avec les cartes planétaires bilingues ou multilingues. Key words:Keywords, planetary, Moon, Mars, nomenclature, terminology, place names, perception, visualizationMots clés:, planétaire, Lune, Mars, nomenclature, terminologie, noms de lieux, perception, visualisation
