With the vigorous development of the mobile Internet, traditional paper-based maps have faced significant challenges and urgently need to find new directions for transformation and adjustment. This article analyzes the problems existing in the development of traditional maps and the advantages and characteristics of new media maps under new technologies. It combines "thematic maps" with "new media network technology" organically, explores the design, compilation and development research plan of new media thematic maps, and proposes ideas for data information security and traceability protection.
