Web Mapping

Web mapping refers to the process of using the internet to create, display, and interact with maps. It allows users to access geographic information and visualizations using web browsers on computers or smartphones. Popular web mapping services, like Google Maps, combine Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology with user-friendly interfaces, enabling features such as zooming, searching for locations, and getting directions. Users can also view satellite imagery, street maps, and even street-level photos, making it easier to explore and understand spatial relationships in our world. It plays a vital role in navigation, urban planning, and data analysis.
