CHAPTER ONE 01. Introduction 1.1 Background information Web mapping is the process of designing, implementing, generating and delivering maps on the World Wide Web and its product. Web maps are often a presentation media in web Geographical Information System and web maps are increasingly gaining analytical capabilities. A special case of web maps are mobile maps, displayed on mobile computing devices, such as mobile phones, smart phones, PDAs, GPS and other devices. If the maps on these devices are displayed by a mobile web browser or web user agent, they can be regarded as mobile web maps. If the mobile web maps also display context and location sensitive information, such as points of interest, the term Location-based services is frequently used (www.wikipedia.com)Z 1.2 Statement of the problem About 2,000 students are admitted at Kill every semester; these students find it challenging to find their way around campus like locating their lecture rooms, respective offices among others. Once there is need to provide personnel such as new students, visitors either the staff with an ~ccessible web map that will help guide them around campus
