What happens is Google's robots or spiders will go around websites that has been indexed either manually or by software submission.
When these spiders visit the website, they will go around the Home page and other linking pages to index any changes made in the content within the page.
It would be much easier if we help these spiders to go and visit this page that is called SiteMap of your website. In other words, the spiders just required to visit your website's SiteMap to index all the pages within this website, so it saves them time crawling all the pages in your site.
When spiders 'crawl' your website, it may be slowed down the loading processing time of calling your site up from the server.
This is an advantage of having a website with SiteMap.
File name extension would be - /sitemap.html
To check if Google has crawled to your site, check it out at Google SiteMap from this path or via Google Webmaster Tool at:-
http://www.google.com/webmasters/
A better way would also to create a /sitemap.xml to upload to your root directory in your server.
