# Web Mapping

Web mapping allows access to a lot of **geospatial data**, curated for the end-users.  It fosters collaboration as an unlimited number of users can use the map at the same time.  

MAGIC are currently reviewing and updating our web-mapping platforms for Operations. The plan is to move OperationsGIS to Esri, so it will look and feel like the ADD (<https://add.scar.org/>)

At BAS, we use **bespoke web-maps** to show season-specific data in [Operations GIS](https://opsgis.web.bas.ac.uk/login).  This web-map is kept up to date with the latest-available data, sourced from Operations. &#x20;

It also has a number of **tools** that have been built to support your work. &#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.geospatial.bas.ac.uk/ops_training/gis-technologies-at-bas/web-gis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
