In general, online map representations do not include information that may be relevant for the purpose of generating good realistic routes, including for example tra c patterns, construction, or number of lanes.

Abstract Map label placement is an important task in map production, which needs to be automated since it tedious and requires a significant amount of manual work. In this paper, we identify five cartographic labeling situations that present challenges by causing intensive work production city wayfinding maps, e.g., high density areas , utilizing true geometries methods creating good relationsh...

When implementing the one map policy by establishing a Regional Geospatial Information Network (JIGD), Pontianak City Government might face an inefficiency issue. JIGD possibly resembled existing data management system, namely One Data Indonesia system (SDI) that is well established since 2019. This study analyzed possibility of whether to build as standalone structure or integrate it into SDI ...
