Many maps are static, fixed to paper or some other durable medium, while others are dynamic or interactive.

The space being mapped may be two dimensional, such as the surface of the earth, three dimensional, such as the interior of the earth, or even more abstract spaces of any dimension, such as arise in modeling phenomena having many independent variables.
