Due to the small screen of the portable handheld devices, innovative ways of clustering and simplifying information on the maps needed to be developed. GIUZ was the partner responsible for this feature and performs ongoing research on map generalisation (see University of Zurich, Department of Geography, GIS Division).

Below are examples of map generalisation techniques developed for WebPark.

Examples of view generalisation operators. First row shows operators which reduces amount of data, second row contains operators which rearrange the objects.
