Preface The development of wireless telecommunication and ubiquitous computing technologies has led to a growing mobile population and dramatically changed patterns of working and everyday life. A smooth and safe mobility is only possible when the mobile person is well-informed of the happenings in his ambient environments. Location-sensitive maps have proved a strong enhancement to what a mobile user can directly perceive from his ambient environments. Since ancient times the map has been the favorite communication language of spatial information. It is even more the case for mobile applications where brand-new maps can be wirelessly retrieved or generated in real-time. The upsurge of map-based services on mobile devices has raised a number of new questions challenging the conventional computer-assisted cartography. Map-based mobile services provides a contemporary overview of research and development issues related to the design and the use of mobility-supporting maps. The book has been written for professional cartographers who are striving for extending their theoretical, methodological and practical knowledge to mobile mapmaking, for surveyors and geo-service providers involved in the development of intelligent location-base
