bundle map (Definition)

Let $E_1 \overset{\pi_1}\to B_1$ and $E_2 \overset{\pi_2}\to B_2$ be fiber bundles for which there is a continuous map $f:B_1 \to B_2$ of base spaces. A bundle map (or bundle morphism) is a commutative square $$ \xymatrix{ E_1 \ar[r]^{\hat{f}} \ar[d]_{\pi_1} & E_2 \ar[d]^{\pi_2} \\ B_1 \ar[r]^{f} & B_2 } $$ such that the induced map $E_1 \to f^{-1}E_2$ is a homeomorphism (here $f^{-1}E_2$ denotes the pullback of $f$ along the bundle projection $\pi_2$ .
