There are many reasons you might want an online map. Think tourism (Northumberland County, VA | Do. Stay. Eat.), shopping (Thriftiquing in the Northern Neck), and small biz supporters (While visiting Sewlovelee on the Northern Neck, check out these other outstanding local businesses).
But deciding which tool to use can be confusing. Jeremy Caplan’s Create cool maps takes the guesswork out of online map making. Writes Jeremy:

You can use them to visualize itineraries, map out your favorite restaurants, or for data journalism projects. Whipping up maps has gotten faster, more visual and more fun. Read on for examples and ideas for how to make the most of these services.
