Abstract

With the rapid growth of the World Wide Web, accessing information on the Internet has become less a question of determining whether the information is out there, but rather, in what form, and how to find it. The prototype presented in this paper gives a new presentation approach based on maps stored in GIS servers. They offer powerful geographic search facilities and the possibility to apply them to mobile devices. The use of GPRS enables the user to retrieve the requested information independent from access to the internet by computers. By determining the position via a GPS receiver, local based services can be implemented. The integration is based on SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), the standard to describe two dimensional vector graphics in XML.
