Literally, it's the same as a old atlas (a book of maps), only newer.

Figuratively, Mapquest, Google Maps, Google Earth, etc. can be considered modern atlases, as they are also collections of maps.

What was Atlas's punishment?

Zeus made Atlas hold the shy and the earth apart. He stood on the most western part of Gaia (the earth) and held Uranus (the sky) on his shoulders so that they would never embrace. Modern depictions have Atlas holding the planet on his shoulders, but that isn't the original story.
