interactive maps
Zoomable digital cartography
Interactive maps are digital maps that respond to user input—zooming, panning, clicking locations for details, or toggling layers of information.
Unlike static maps, they allow exploration: The interactive map showed real-time traffic conditions.
Common on websites and apps for navigation, real estate listings, and data visualization, they transform maps from fixed images into tools for discovery.
