Mobile Mapping Service Using Scalable Vector Graphics on the Human Geographic

Mobile and wireless technologies have evolved rapidly in recent years, especially the development of hardware devices, such as PDA and Smartphone. Telecommunication service providers, manufacturers and other developers have launched different kinds of services and applications in these mobile devices. Mobile Geographic Information and Location Based Service appear recently to help people to establish spatial relationship with the surroundings. Map, which is a useful tool to assist a person to define a position in a particular area, is usually included in these systems. However, there is no standard format of graphic presentation for map in mobile devices. In this paper, the effective method was suggested for the transmission of the geographic information acquired by camera attached to a PDA such as position data, attitude data, and image data in the wireless internet environment in real-time.
