Summary:A web map is an interactive display of geographic information, in the form of a web page, that you can use to tell stories and answer questions. In the past, most digital geographic information was confined to specialized software on desktop PCs and could not be easily shared. With the advent of web mapping, geographical information can be shared, visualized, and edited in the browser. The most important advantage to this is accessibility: a web map, just like any website, can be reached by anyone from any device that has an internet browser and an internet connection.
