There is no doubt that modern information, communications and information revolution technology, which occurred in the world at the end of the last century, have affected various areas of the modern era. They have affected both the individual and the community through improving the lives of individuals by using technology in public life. They also made a boom in various fields of science, where they helped develop methodologies and tools of scientific research. Science and specialties that depend on data with a geographical dimension follow this rule, influenced by geography, cartographic geology and other digital and technological progress through the renovation and development of the means of collection, production, analysis and dissemination of information, especially the use of Geographical Information Systems SIG, and by employing other tools such as: device positioning GPS, digital photocopiers, digital camera, as well as mobile phones. However, these technical tools are no longer the preserve of the experts only, but they have become widespread and common among the general public. Furthermore, they are used in what has become known as the amateur geography which is well-known among web users, emanating from the human sense-based automatic tendency to represent its surroundings and a desire to express it away from the vision of specialized geography. More specifically, the Internet development on a large scale has led to the emergence of a new form of maps that can be used by the common public, and that since the appearance of Google Earth in 2004, which allowed the search capabilities in the maps for addresses, cities and streets… This led us to choose this theme, which attempts to highlight the status of maps in the light of the information revolution
