Abstract

Increasing availability of mobile devices with GPS receiver gives users the possibility to record and share a variety of location-based data, including GPS tracks. We describe a complete real-time system for acquisition, storage, querying, retrieval and visualization of GPS tracks. The main problems faced are how to store the data, how to access and how to visualize large amount of data. We propose to reduce the quantity of the data to be visualized, without affecting visualization quality. In order to achieve this, our system uses a fast polygonal approximation algorithm for different map scales along with a bounding box solution.
