Web Mapping Services
Web Mapping Services are online tools that allow users to view, create, and share maps over the internet. These services use geographic data to display various features, such as roads, landmarks, and terrain, making it easier for people to navigate and understand spatial information. Popular examples include Google Maps and OpenStreetMap.
These services often provide additional functionalities, such as route planning, location search, and real-time traffic updates. They can be accessed through web browsers or mobile applications, making mapping information readily available to anyone with an internet connection. This accessibility has transformed how people interact with geographic data.
