ABSTRACT

Internet-serviced maps can be classified into four groups based on methodologies of putting place names. Firstly, the most general and common type of maps include CIA World Fact Book maps and World Atlas, which is merely image files such as jpg and tiff and the number of place names on the maps are minimal. These types of maps are widely used in many web sites. Secondly, there are digital maps with zoom-in and zoom-out functions, which show different number of place names with the varying scale. Thirdly, there are also some maps which use illustrator map or adobe pdf style, which exhibit different levels of names with the click of menu bars. Lastly, there are maps with virtually no place names but the boundary files.
