Abstract
Visualization of geo-referenced information on mobile devices can be useful in diverse areas. These applications require a user-friendly interface to enable querying the data interactively and the generation of intelligible images. Moreover, they must deal with the limitations of mobile devices, such as small screen size, and the context of mobility. This paper describes MoViSys, a visualization system for geo-referenced data, organized in several categories with multiple attributes, on mobile devices. This system explores filtering mechanisms to present the result of interactive queries specified through an adaptive interface.
