What is a Web Map?

A web map in Dielmo Maps is a fundamental tool that allows for the organization and management of geospatial information layers in a structured and thematic manner. It is the component where layers related to a specific theme or project are grouped together, facilitating the visualization and analysis of data within a coherent context.

Key Features:

  1. Thematic Organization: The web map allows for the grouping of layers by specific themes or projects. For example, all layers related to the inspection of a facility can be grouped in a map dedicated to that particular facility.
  2. Data Management: It facilitates the management and administration of geospatial information layers by organizing them logically and coherently within the same environment.
  3. Spatial Context: It provides a spatial context for data layers, allowing users to understand the relationship and interaction between different sets of geographic information.
  4. Access and Distribution: Web maps can be shared and distributed among platform users, facilitating collaboration and information exchange between teams.
  5. Customization: Users can customize web maps according to their specific needs, adding or removing layers, changing visualization, and configuring other options as necessary.

 

Example of Use:

For instance, if we want to conduct an inspection of an industrial facility, we could create a web map dedicated to that facility. In this map, we could group all relevant information layers, such as base maps, satellite imagery, topographic data, facility plans, results from previous inspections, among others. This would provide users with a comprehensive and contextualized view of the facility, facilitating decision-making and planning of inspection activities.

The web map in Dielmo Maps is an essential component that allows for the organization, management, and visualization of geospatial data in a structured and thematic manner, providing a spatial context for decision-making and geographic analysis.
