Representing Points of Interest on a Map

Date: April 2010
Description: The figure shows two distinct graphical approaches to represent points of interest on a map.
On the left, figurative icons were used; on the right, more colorful and stylized icons are depicted. Besides geographical location and category (in this example: hotel, gas station or monument) we also intend to express the importance a priori. This importance has a numerical value calculated by a mathematical function called Degree of Interest function. We want to test and evaluate different approaches to graphically express the magnitude of this numerical value: using 2D or 3D icons of distinctive sizes, colors or saturations, animated icons, etc.
Technique: Several languages: HTML, JavaScript, PHP, SQL; SVG graphics.
