Generalization for mobile map displays
Multi-scale databases: often multiple representationdrawbacks: redundancy, fixed levels of detail
Solution: scaleless / variable scale data structuressingle representation with additional structure to access at anylevel of detailoften also spatial organization (clustering / indexing)progressive transfer: keep sending more details compare to raster formats: data pyramids, wavelets)
e.g. tGAP structure (van Oosterom, 2005)

tGAPtopological Generalized Area Partitioning
data structure supporting vario-scale datastore data only once, with no redundancy of the geometryderive different representations of the same data on the fly according to the level of detail requiredsmooth zooming, realized through progressive transfer
