Abstract

The rapid development of mobile computing devices along with a variety of Web 2.0 social networking tools has led to a dramatic change in the way maps and other spatial displays are utilized. The evolution from stand-alone desktop GIS to the interactive, mobile devices, in which information from one or more sources and is sent to one or more sinks, is discussed. The result is access to real-time information, which is generated from both traditional sources, social networks, and other specialized geowikis. Both the benefits of many to many mobile maps and the emergence of new problems, such as understanding the needs of the user and providing appropriate context, are discussed.

Our use of the term, geowiki, is in the generic sense of the concept. Geo-Wiki (with a hyphen) is the proper name of a separate project founded in 2009 through a collaboration of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt and the University of Freiburg.
