Web based device independent mobile map applications.: the m-CHARTIS system

A map is one of the most useful media in disseminating spatial information. As mobile devices are becoming increasingly powerful and ubiquitous, new possibilities to access map information are created. However, mobile devices still face severe constraints that limit the possibilities that a mobile map application may offer. We present the m-CHARTIS system, a device independent mobile map application that enables mobile users to access map information from their device.
