The research briefl y outlines the history of the linguistic-geographical method in Ukrainian dialectology, identifi es its key stages, and describes contemporary techniques in linguistic geography. It analyzes the features of multimedia maps, phonetic dialectal recordings, such as „The Interactive Map of North Podlachia”, the project named „The Dialects” and „The Phonocard of the West Polissіa Dialect and Borderlands”. The study also highlights the new possibilities of modern electronic cartography. The specifi cs of the change in the accented of [e] > [a] in the Volodymyr area of Volyn Polissia are illustrated on the example of the interactive map. The capabilities of interactive maps are demonstrated, including the ability to place extensive layers of illustrative material on a single page, incorporate the React library to add audio fi les to the map, allow the downloading of sound data for further processing in sound editing programs, and adjust playback speed for a more detailed examination of the linguistic phenomenon.
