Web-services

Maps are increasingly published on the internet, this has both revolutionized the design and the cartographic production. Web-maps and underlying web-services can now be shared by anyone for many purposes. The pervasive nature of the digital world in our life always enables us to connect to maps via smartphones, tablets and laptops everywhere. The web in general has supported the availability of web-services and web-maps which provide the availability to zoom in and explore different regions of the map at various level of details. The United Nations prepares web-services and web-maps that can be re-used and mashed up with other services following guidelines of the map permission.

It is recommended to use Google Chrome for all the Web-services under this page.
