System, apparatus, and related method for generating a geospatial interactive composite web-based image map

A method of updating a geospatial interactive composite web-based image map, the method comprising:

• receiving at a server, from a user device, a request to construct a collage for a selected region of map data of a geospatial interactive composite web-based image map displayed by the user device;
• the server generating the collage including selecting images for defined sub-regions within the selected region of map data responsive to the request;
• and
• transmitting the collage from the server to the user device for display thereon as an overlay to the map data.

A non-transitory computer readable medium of a user device storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform steps comprising:

• displaying, on an electronic display of a user device, a geospatial interactive composite web-based image map;
• receiving, from a user input associated with the user device, a request to construct a collage for a selected region of map data of the geospatial interactive composite web-based image map;
• transmitting the request to a management server for generating the collage including selecting images for defined sub-regions within the selected region of map data;
• receiving the collage from the management server;
• and
• displaying the collage as an overlay to the map data on the electronic display of the user device.
