Downtown Development Map Now Online
by admin on October 31st, 2006
It’s fun every once in a while when a work project intersects with what I’m interested in Downtown. Working at Cartifact, where we do plenty of Downtown maps, that happens more often than it might in a lot of other contexts.
Several weeks ago a new map we did started running in the weekly issues of the Downtown News. A special map for the recent Development Issue highlighted all the projects going on Downtown. As of a few days ago you can now find that Downtown Development Map online and follow along with the grid coordinates given in the development listings. It’s not a full interactive like the Downtown Los Angeles Interactive Map we did with DCBID, but I think it’s a cool way to make the map useful online.

Panamap
by admin on October 23rd, 2006
Urban Mapping produces multi-layered tourist maps called Panamap. These maps aim at improving the tourist navigation in a urban space by viewing only relevant information.
Images are interlaced by alternating horizontal strips from each. The resulting compound image is calibrated to a specially designed polymer lens substrate. By rotating the map, the angle of viewing is changed and one of the resulting three layers can be viewed
Relation to my thesis: I am wondering in what ways this layered view improves the spatial navigation. This is a good inspiration for an experiment that would display uncertainty (quality/timeliness) of the location data in a layered manner and evaluated if it improves the awareness or the navigation.
