Management of the Temporal Maps within a Collaborative Environment
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
GPS are usually built by only one company that provides the software and the maps as a single solution. Because the maps are made especially for that kind of software and because the format is not made public, to update such a map additional files (from the producer) are needed. Even though, the producer is not always updating all the roads as fast as they appear or as fast as their properties are changing. This paper is proposing a new method of creating maps which provide the dynamism needed by every GPS: the maps are created by every driver, collected on the same website, parsed and modified and redistributed to the other users that are interested in vectorized maps. This way the maps are refreshed every day and that could be done even in real time.
