Maps have undergone a transformative shift in the past decade, evolving from static two-dimensional representations to interactive and immersive experiences. Augmented Reality (AR) technology is driving much of the innovation in map design, allowing for a more immersive experience by overlaying information on top of the real-world environment. AI and machine learning (ML) is also playing a significant role in personalising maps to individual user needs. The market for location-based services, which rely heavily on maps, is projected to grow rapidly, with a report by Statista estimating that the global market for location-based services will reach $157.34 billion by 2026.
