In the old days … (before 1996)
Paper maps were the best way to ‘see’ data
Paper maps continue to be important as one way to display and archive information
BUT, with the web comes new possibilities …

Google Maps launched (web based mapping that can be used on your own website)
Google Earth launched Microsoft Virtual Earth
launched
OpenStreetMap (users around the world create roads with handheld GPSs)
Your lifespan in GIS web mapping
1996 2008
1997
MapQuest launched for driving directions
1998
First online GIS web mapping and analysis programs
Terraserver (images and topo maps)
1999
National Atlas of Canada available online
2002
NASA Worldwind launched (first 3D world viewer)
20042005
Many users customize these programs as ‘mash-ups'
2006-2007

Web mapping: pros and cons
Deliver up-to-date data
User can often ‘personalize’ map
Can be less expensive than paper maps for users
Pros Cons Need the
internet Limited
screen space Can be
expensive to produce and maintain for developers

On to some examples!

Future of GeoData Visualization?
Some guesses … 3-D visualizations will
get faster and imagery will get more detailed
Handheld devices and phones will not only be able to display but also collect data
Communication in web mapping sites (chat, avatars) not far off
