Web mapping is a process of using maps delivered by geographic information systems (GIS) that can be used for interrogation and importantly, the analysis of data.
A web map on the World Wide Web is both served and consumed, making the process of web mapping much more than just web cartography. It is a service by which consumers may choose what the map will show, with an interactive website a deliverable tool. Web mapping brings the capability of both online and offline GIS.
