This Is The First Book Dedicated To Design And Usability Issues Of Map-based Mobile Services. With Works By Authors From Universities, Research Institutions And Software Industry, It Addresses Theoretical, Methodological And Practical Considerations In Developing Mobile Map Services. Human Factors Are Emphasised As The Essential Element Guiding The Design. The Book Has Been Written For Professional Cartographers Who Are Striving For Extending Their Knowledge To Mobile Mapmaking, For Surveyors And Geo-service Providers Involved In The Development Of Intelligent Location-based Services, For Software Developers And Cognitive Scientists Engaged In Human-computer Interaction, And For Students And Academics In Cartography And Geoinformation Sciences. The Accompanying Cd-rom Contains The Pdf-files In Colour.--book Jacket. 1. Map-based Mobile Services / Liqiu Meng And Tumasch Reichenbacher -- 2.
