We generalize wave maps to biwave maps. We prove that the composition of a biwave map and a totally geodesic map is a biwave map. We give examples of biwave nonwave maps. We show that if is a biwave map into a Riemannian manifold under certain circumstance, then is a wave map. We verify that if is a stable biwavemap into a Riemannian manifold with positive constant sectional curvature satisfying the conservation law, then is a wave map. We finally obtain a theorem involving an unstable biwave map
