Cartographic systems visualization in mobile devices: issues, approaches and example cases

Visualization of cartographic systems in mobile devices is a challenge due to the its own limitations to show all the relevant information that the user needs on the screen. Within this paper we review current state-of- the-art technological solutions to face this problem and we classify them in a novel typology. In addition, it is shown an example case of a developed system for a logistic company specialized in dangerous goods. The system is able to calculate optimal routes and communicate the drivers the best path in order to achieve a great management of the company resources
