Internet Mapping Four categories of Internet Mapping information available: Static Graphic Images – standard graphic files (e.g.,.jpg,.tif,.gif, etc.) Static Graphic Images – standard graphic files (e.g.,.jpg,.tif,.gif, etc.) Interactive Maps – user is allowed to select map layers to display (e.g.,.jpg, etc.) Interactive Maps – user is allowed to select map layers to display (e.g.,.jpg, etc.) Animated Graphic Images – dynamic maps that change with time or other conditions (e.g.,.avi,.mpg, etc. ) Animated Graphic Images – dynamic maps that change with time or other conditions (e.g.,.avi,.mpg, etc. ) Mapped Data – actual mapped data is downloaded and viewed in a map viewer or GIS system Mapped Data – actual mapped data is downloaded and viewed in a map viewer or GIS system CAUTION: Geo-registration issues, mismatched resolutions, authenticity (Berry)
