An e-Map Navigation System: Provide Region Search and Visualize Landmark Information

Abstract

In this paper, a new e-Map navigation system is designed to provide users with regional navigation services. It provided users keyword search, multiple classification search, and region search, so that users' need for diversified searches can be satisfied. Besides, this system applies chromatology to visualize search results, using colors to present landmarks and different degrees of chroma to describe landmark information. It is expected that through improvement of the system design and the information retrieval interface, user's search cost can be reduced and better navigation services can be provided in a more efficient manner.
