Abstract:
Map,especially children’s map is an important source and media for the acquisition of spatial knowledge for children.Nowadays,LBS has stepped into the stage of providing personal services for different kinds of users and mobile map design methods will confront new challenges.Taking children as the target users,we discussed the mobile map design methods.Based on the characteristics and rules of children’s cognition of map representation,this paper expatiated on the concept and characteristics of children’s mobile maps.It also put forward some rules and demands for the design of children’s mobile maps and suggested some methods and map design templates for the material design,symbol design,lettering design,interaction,and functions of children’s mobile map.This study will be helpful to develop the ability of children’s spatial imagination,abstraction and cognition and also provide an important method for training new talent in the era of wireless web.
