The integration of web services with GIS has recently attracted much attention. Free web mapping services providers such as Google Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth have become very popular. They use large distributed systems for information sharing on the Internet based on geospatial location. Also they provide their web APIs for professional developers. In this paper, a web mapping application based on conference presenters' geographic locations using Google Maps is presented. It aims to demonstrate advanced features that current web mapping services can provide for location-based decision making. First system overview is presented. Then geographic location mapping methodologies including data mining, map feature generation and GeoRSS conversion are addressed. Finally geospatial visualization of the conference presenters as a case study is demonstrated. Keywords: Geospatial Visualization, Google Maps, Location Based Services, Mapping, Decision Making.
