Abstract

Mobile and wireless technologies have evolved rapidly in recent years, especially the development of hardware devices, such as PDA and Smart phone. Different kinds of services and applications in these mobile devices, especially Mobile Geographic Information System and Location Based Service have been launched in recent years to help people to establish spatial relationship with the surroundings. Digital Map, which is a useful tool to assist a person for positioning and navigation, is usually included in these services. However, mobility of wireless devices, limited bandwidth of wireless networks, and limited storage capacity of mobile terminals seriously affect the performance of mobile digital maps and its application. In order to boom its application in mobile devices, this paper focuses on four important problems, i.e., data model optimization of mobile digital map, data organization and management at server side and client side respectively, data compression method, representation approaches on mobile terminals. In this paper, we adopt and modify the Europe transportation network standard GDF, accomplish effectively data compression with SVG, and present a new two-layer database structure to organize data. The digital maps can be expressed by multi-approaches, namely layers, districts and scales.
