Abstract
Mobile navigation is one of the most popular applications for small electronic devices like PDA (personal digital assistants). In the last years the main focus of routing applications was on the use in car navigation systems. But with the increasing market and availability of small devices, a new user group comes to the fore: the pedestrian user. Because of the different needs and (technical) limitations of both groups, new concepts and implementations to improve the wayfinding process with routing instructions and their (visual) communication have to be developed. In our paper, we propose the generation of routing information targeted at pedestrians. We first describe the possibilities to extract the potential landmarks from existing datasets. For the visualisation of these landmarks in a map we propose to emphasize them appropriately in order to help the user in orientation and navigation. To this end we introduce maps containing more than one level of detail (LoD's). A multiple resolution database (MRDB) serves as a basis for these kinds of visualisation.
