Online maps provide a huge amount of information. They allow you not only to use road maps, but also allow you to route between selected points, measure the distance between them, and provide communication solutions. We are informed about traffic, road accidents, and possible detours. Maps provide satellite and aerial images, as well as a three‑dimensional view of most places on Earth.

Users can create their own maps, add information to them, and share them or their location with others. Using the right applications on smartphones allows you to save and view the places and routes that you have travelled.

The data needed to display maps is stored in the network search engine resources, i.e. in so‑called cloud.
