我国移动地图与互联网地图逐渐成为地理信息与电子地图应用的主流趋势。该文从地图数据的组织与传输机制、可视化技术、在线地图服务以及导航各行业拓展应用等方面,总结了我国近期移动与互联网地图的研究进展,点评了目前发展中存在的若干问题,结合我国实际情况展望了其发展前景。
In the recent years, mobile maps and Internet maps have been developing rapidly in China. They have become the mainstream of geographic information and electronic map applications. This paper reviewed the progress of mobile map and Internet map in data organization and transmission mechanisms, visualization technology, online map services, and the navigation applica- tions. Although much progress had been made, there were still some drawbacks, either in research depth or the combination with new technologies, which were shown on the deficiency of original works, especially research theories of high quality. Due to the lack of effective sharing and updating methods of map data, electronic maps could not meet the real-time needs of users. This paper proposed that user and environment situations could be monitored dynamically and in real-time through the booming sensor networks and wireless communications, which added much new elements to map contents, and gained the focus of map research and application. Hence, many research areas were extended, for instance, multi-dimensional data model, adaptive and personalized representation, 3-demensional virtual visualization,and map spatial ternporal analysis and representation, etc. Finally, this paper prospected the development of mobile map and Interact map and in expectation to provide some theory guidance practical reference.
