The result format map, part of the Semantic Maps extension, can be used to display geographical data onto dynamic and interactive maps, such as Google Maps. The mapping service used for this format is the default one, which depends on configuration of the Maps and Semantic Maps extensions. There are also specific formats for each mapping service:

• Google maps
• OpenLayers
• Yahoo! maps
