About digital maps
Digital mapping is a process by which data is collected and compiled to form a virtual image. The data compiled is used to produce maps that accurately represent a particular geographical area or feature, including major roads, rivers, and important landmarks such as airports, tourist attractions, and hospitals. Digital mapping technology also provides an option to calculate the distance between different places.
Digital maps are being increasingly used for various location-enabled applications such as Google Earth, Google Maps, and Foursquare. However, the technology is primarily used in GPS satellite networks of automotive navigation systems. With advancement in GPS technology, several useful features such as live traffic updates and places of interest have been added, making the systems more user-friendly. In many cases, users have the option of choosing between virtual maps, satellite, or hybrid views according to their requirement. The information on digital mapping devices is continuously updated to include new landmarks and places of interest.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global digital map market to grow at a CAGR of 11.07 percent over the period 2014-2019.
