What is an interactive map?
Interactive maps are based on digital map material, such as Bing Maps, TomTom and WIGeoStreet. Interactive maps are a core feature of WebGIS software (Online GIS). Interactive maps combine and display addresses and other geodata with company and market data.
Maps in a WebGIS are not static, but interactive. That means they change based on input from the user, for example if you select certain data for display, make a spatial selection or set a filter. In addition, the map section can be changed interactively (zoom or drill-in, drill-out).

Overview: Top Features of Interactive Maps
- Change scale: You can change the scale by drilling in or out on the map.
- Show and hide data: Using so-called data layers, you can show and hide different data one at a time or simultaneously.
- Turn labels on and off for cities and regions: On the map, you can show and hide the names of cities, districts, and countries. You can even label sales areas (e.g. the name of the sales representative) which can then be shown or hidden.
- Interaction between map and table: The map and table interact with each other. For example, if you make a spatial selection by drawing a circle on the map, the data in the table will update. It will display only the data from the area selected on the map.
- Interaction between table and map: If you select data in the table with a checkmark, only that data will be displayed on the map. The WebGIS will hide all the other information on the map.
- Interactive printing: Select exactly the area of the map you want to print. To select the print area, draw a window exactly around the area you want to print.
Digital maps offer a variety of interaction options, allowing you to work intuitively and playfully with the WebGIS WIGeoGIS.

Interactive Maps - Examples
A “Classic” Among the Interactive Maps for Companies
Key company data can be ideally displayed in online GIS. When companies start using a WebGIS, they usually start by creating the following thematic maps, which remain a long-time favorite even after years of use:
- Branch Locations on the Map
- Customer Map
- Employee / Sales Representative Map
- Turnover on the Map
- Competitor Map
After the introductory phase, companies usually want to display even more detailed and comprehensive data on the map. They move from pure visualization and interaction with data on the map, to data analysis with WebGIS.
Customer Data on the Map
Display all your customers, or just a selection such as A, B, C customers, interactively on the map. You can see the distribution and scattering in an area. Each point represents the address (location / place of residence) of a customer.
Branch Locations on the Map
Display your global business locations on the map, together with your customer density:
- Branches
- Dealers
- Sales Partners
- Service Centers
- Warehouses
- Logistic Hotspots etc.
Sales by Sales Area
Take a look at your sales figures. How is the business doing globally, in Europe, regionally? Depending on the area of responsibility, you can display sales figures and go into even more detail. This not only applies to sales by area, but also by division, product and for any KPI that you would like to analyze and see on the map.
Competitors on the Map
Take a look at where your competitors are located. How are they distributed in the area compared to you? Display your locations, sales representatives, customers and competitor locations all at the same time on the map.

3. Interaction with Data
The interactive map is the ideal tool for working with your data. With drill-in and drill-out, you can zoom in on the map. You can choose to display data on divisions, products, areas or market data separately or at the same time. Intersect data. Spin and flip your data however you like. The variety is almost unlimited.
4. Intuitive Operation
Digital and interactive maps are easy and fun to use. Just a click, and you see the data on the map. Every step is easy to understand and undo. Data analysis and data visualization in WebGIS maps is fun.
5. Display Sensitive Data Securely and Privately on Maps
