The document discusses the concept of mapping mashups, which are web applications that integrate data from multiple sources using APIs. It explores their evolution, current trends, and future possibilities in the context of technology, mobile growth, and social media integration. Additionally, it addresses issues related to data privacy, accessibility, and security and emphasizes the increasing significance of spatial data.

What are they? - Definition
Harsh Prakash. April 2013 3

4. Software company offers Application
Programming Interface to users to connect
to its mapping application.
Users use that API and mix it with other
companies’ APIs, creating a mapping
mashup.
• Visitor requests mapping mashup
• API and Key are verified
• Main script
• Legend, copyright etc images
• Map tiles
• Marker, shadow etc images
• Plotting and geocoding as required
