A Drag & Drop Map (abbreviation: DD Map) specification is formulated as an innovative and efficient method for selecting, moving and using a map data on the web. Using the DD Map, map layer data is exchanged between websites using HTML5 drag & drop Application Programming Interface (API). The map data to be transferred is in a JavaScript Object Notification (JSON) format as a JSON text, a JSON file or a link to a JSON file. By using the DD Map, simple and intuitive map display and rapid utilization of new map data can be implemented. Furthermore, the role of the DD Map icon provider can be proposed and map layer data set with free ideas can be created.
