Web maps require the internet to host, so they are subject to link rot, making information inaccessible. [37] Unlike physical maps, this can have major impacts on the historical record if the web map is the only source for the data it presents. Web mapping is also used in geography games, notably of which is GeoGuessr.
Some of them, like Google Maps and OpenLayers, expose an application programming interface (API) that enable users to create custom applications. These toolkits commonly offer street maps, aerial/satellite imagery, geocoding, searches, and routing functionality.
The World Wide Web is an information system that uses the internet to host, share, and distribute documents, images, and other data. [33] Web GIS involves using the World Wide Web to facilitate GIS tasks traditionally done on a desktop computer, as well as enabling the sharing of maps and spatial data. [7]
