Abstract

The visualization of geo-referenced information on a map has become an essential method to help the users to get the intended information. The adaptation of visualization techniques for mobile devices, such as, PDA and mobile phones make this type of applications ubiquitous. However, the context of mobility and the limitations of mobile devices, such as, the small screen, suggest that some visualization techniques may not be appropriate for those devices. In this work we intend to integrate filtering mechanisms, based on semantic criteria, and to use multiple representations with different levels of detail to generate intelligible representations as a result of geographic queries in mobile environments.
