ABSTRACT
The article presents selected software development tools and technologies that enable the presentation of statistical data on digital maps in the browser. The aim of the study was to describe
them, and to conduct their comparative evaluation. In our studies, we have used ad-hoc tests,
performed on the basis of usability and functionality, using the technique of self-evaluation.
Based on the criteria of global popularity and availability, the following were subjected to ad-hoc
tests: Google Visualization – Geomap and Geo Chart, as well as selected solutions developed on
the basis of the jQuery JavaScript.
In conclusion, it has been demonstrated that the tested design and development technologies are
complementary, while the selection of tools to carry out the design principles assumed remains
at the discretion of the user.
