A new breed of location technologies powered by cloud services is overtaking the consumer web. These new location apps and geodata are taking mapping into the mainstream through their ease of implementation, maintenance and use. We’re now seeing that users once timid with mapping are now demanding interactive spatial features and further innovation from sites employing mapping and location data. Cloud computing has permanently transformed the mapping sector and is creating new rules for success, along with tremendous opportunity for those attuned to these changes. By better understanding what lies ahead for cloud-based mapping, organizations and individuals can best capitalize on this technology revolution and make their sites and products stand out with mapping. • New Users, New Markets: Web mapping has an army of new users, most of whom are nontechnical and have exceedingly high expectations for their user experience.
