ABSTRACT
There is an increasing number of Internet applications which shows graphic representation of selected aspects of the Earth’s surface. On the Internet can be find various types of interactive and dynamic maps. The Internet has redefined how maps are used. Maps on the Internet are more interactive, for example provides directions and satellite or aerial imagery of many countries. Most of the mapping platforms usually provides a set of multiple APIs (Application Programming Interface) including an AJAX control, static maps, REST Services or Spatial Data Services, to incorporate the latest maps, imagery and location services in web applications. The main topic of this research is to show that raster maps are still in use today and have lots of advantages. The aim of this research is to characterize and comparative analysis of selected programming techniques, especially creating a static maps of spatial objects using query string parameters.
