Development geographical perspectives and ways of thinking by using official national web maps

Abstract

The provision of spatial information using the Web by National Mapping Organization is progressing in countries around the world, and there are Web map sites similar to GSI Maps. Since map images similar to the paper-based Topographic Map are also provided, it is highly useful for learning. An analysis of the results of presentation-style classes using this system showed that learning effects equivalent to those using GSI Maps were obtained.
