Abstract
Despite their popularity electronic maps on mobile devices have not eliminated the use of paper maps. Conventional paper maps can offer a quick overview due to their large format while the map content on mobile devices is adjusted to the limited display size. However the electronic map applications provide many additional functions that paper cannot offer. The authors provide arguments for the linking of the two worlds through explaining how the advantages of both media complement each other. Hence, an approach to bridge the technological gap between analogue paper and the electronic domain is presented. A technology developed by Swedish company Anoto is used to enhance regular paper with an unobtrusive dot pattern enabling an electronic pen with a camera to determine its position on the paper. The potential benefits of this technology are discussed on the basis of two application scenarios that can demonstrate the feasibility of the linking of digital and analogue media and its benefits for the map user.
