A spatiomap is a document similar to a map, but based on an orthophoto.[http://gis.vsb.cz/GIS_Ostrava/GIS_Ova_2010/sbornik/Lists/Papers/EN_8_1.pdf SPATIOMAP generation from SPOT 5 super mode images ], GIS Ostrava 2010 Often, some annotations are added to the orthophoto. Similar to normal maps, can display a north arrow, a scale bar and cartographical information like the used projection. Spatiomaps are useful when other reliable source are missing for a certain area and/or when a map must be produced in very short time (e.g. for disaster management). Spatiomaps are frequently used during disaster relief.[https://www.disasterscharter.org/web/guest/-/floods-in-roman-8 Different examples of spatiomaps], International Charter Space & Major Disasters: Floods in Romania (2005)[http://data.fao.org/ref/f797b8f0-88fd-11da-a88f-000d939bc5d8.html?version=1.0 Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

An image map or orthophotomap is a similar document, but is mostly regarded as an orthophotomosaic with some points, lines or polygon layers of a traditional map drawn over the orthophoto. An image map resembles a standard general purpose map but adds the use of an orthophotomosaic as a background.
