The document provides a history of web mapping, beginning with early pioneers like the Xerox PARC Map Viewer in 1993 and MapQuest in 1996. It discusses the increased use of web mapping by GIS companies and open source projects in the late 1990s. The document notes that Google revolutionized web mapping with Google Maps. It outlines the growth of application programming interfaces, mashups, and use of proprietary and open source APIs. The document discusses how web mapping became more democratized with tools that simplified map creation, administration, and publication for non-experts. It provides examples like CloudMade, GeoCommons, TileMill, and CartoDB. The document outlines key aspects of web mapping like using the

12. The Experts Phase
1st Mashups “A Mashups, is a web application that
combines data and functionality
from different sources
to create new services”
ChicagoCrime which
embedded crime data in Google Maps
Paul Rademacher reverse engineered Google Maps
to create HousingMaps

13. The Experts Phase
Application Programming Interface
Proprietary API
Google Maps
https://developers.google.com/maps/
Probably the most popular API
Very atcive community
Bing Maps
www.microsoft.com/maps/developers/web.aspx
Bird Eye view
Open Source API
LeafLet
http://leaflet.cloudmade.com/
Very Powerful
Very active community
OpenLayers
http://openlayers.org/
Maybe the best Open Source API
Lot of possibilities
