The purpose of this paper is to disseminate knowledge about using digital mapping technologies such as Geographic Information System (GIS), Google Maps and Google Earth as a method to preserve, conserve and safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage. In this context traditional food is used as a case study. Digital mapping offers a possibility to analyze heritage information in the spatial and temporal context and to engage immensely in a digital world. GIS is a technology that can provide spatially and temporally dynamic maps where one can better understand how a place truly changes from period to period and provide a framework for showing and analyzing context in terms of what was happening around a particular time and place. Digital cultural map is one of widely used means of distributing information about different cultural areas.
