Abstract

People are ever more connected and can travel between locations while having realtime access to information sources, much of it having a spatial component. Anytime and anywhere, access to data is in demand by the wealth of nomadic users. Liberating users from indoor-based PCs and physical network connections opens new opportunities to allow geospatial information access in many real-world situations, thus revolutionizing how users interact with the world and surrounding environment through the use of handheld devices.
