In 1983 the Midwest Universities Consortium for International Affairs (MUCIA) entered into an agreement with the Ministry of Education of the Government of Indonesia to implement World Bank Education Project IX. A major activity of the project was to bring consultants to three Indonesian universities in fields identified by the universities. One of these fields was computer-assisted cartography by the Facultas Geografi of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM). The position at Universitas Gadjah Mada was filled in sequence by two consultants including the author who spent from January to August 1987 in Jogyakarta. This paper discusses some of the problems and successes with acquiring, developing, converting and implementing software and a system for teaching
