Cloud-based mapping services
Cloud-based mapping services are online platforms that provide geographic information and navigation tools through internet servers. Instead of relying on local software or data stored on your device, these services access maps, routes, and location data from remote servers in the cloud. This allows for real-time updates, easy access across devices, and seamless integration of features like traffic info, directions, and location sharing. Common examples include Google Maps and Bing Maps. They facilitate accurate, current mapping and navigation support without the need for extensive local storage or software installation.
