I would go as far as to say that most people would just respond "IE" or "Firefox" when you say "Web." Internet is more of a catch-all for networked stuff and the Web is now represents the presentation layer and not the interconnecting links in "the cloud."
If you want to call them connected paths wouldn't it be more sensical to use the idea of interconnected trails or paths to describe map data? Just thinking (typing?) out loud. Not that there really needs to be a new official term. Digital Maps is also a general catch-all phrase that's approachable. Maps are going more digital but I still think paper when I hear that. Regarding neo-geo there is certainly a trust issue, especially when you are using the data as a way to physically go somewhere, but Wikipedia has shown us that "good enough" can be acceptable to the many as long as there are enough people minding the store (of data).
