Web mapping

Web mapping is a way of taking information from the internet and showing it on the map. It is like taking a picture of the world and then adding labels and other details to it. For example, web mapping can be used to show restaurants, parks, and stores on a map. You can also use web mapping to get directions to a certain place or to see what the weather is like in a certain area.
