Which one?

You want…	Use
to look at a map now	the web app
an icon in your dock, and to work offline	the installed app or the desktop app
data on a machine with no network	one HTML file
a link in a paper that draws the same picture in five years	a fixed release
a live map on your lab’s site	an iframe
the app at your own address, as on an intranet	your own copy
a map in a notebook or a report	the widget for Python or R
the analyses in a script or a pipeline	the command line

The first six are the whole app; the last three put part of it where you work. All of them read your data where it lives and upload nothing. Web, desktop or one file says what the web app, the desktop app and the single file can each reach, and how each is updated.
