Innovation of Maps ～GSI Maps and its utilization～

Abstract

Maps are an indispensable platform in every field such as disaster management, education and urban planning. With the expansion of the Internet, the use of web maps has been progressing in recent years. Thanks to Web maps, we have been able to do a lot of things that were not possible with paper maps. This paper introduces GSI Maps, a web map provided by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, which provides various geospatial information and have a lot of functions for their use.
