Cover Story: Web map applications are widely used, yet their cartographic design often receives limited attention. This article evaluates eight popular web map applications (Mapy.cz, OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, Bing Maps, HERE Maps, MapQuest, ViaMichelin, and Locus Map) based on six cartographic aspects (Map Key, Map Scale, Map Layout, Navigation Elements, Labels, and Analytical Tools). By identifying inconsistencies in feature representation, such as the absence of certain symbols and variability in others, this study recommends unifying cartographic principles and further user testing to optimize the user interface and experience of web map applications. An interesting finding is the absence of cartographic symbols and labels of some elements in some applications. View this paper
