An isobar map is a form of isoline maps that focuses on pressure. This map form uses continuous lines to connect points of equal pressure. These lines that connect the points are called isobars and thus the reason why the map is named what it is. This map type is especially used by meteorologist to predict future weather patterns, but could also be used by various technology related fields. The map above is in fact an isobar map because it uses isobars to show the various barometric pressures across the U.S.
