Introduction

Real-time cartography imaging application provides user with the view of geographic map for the requested area in real time. Map images are presented at the user’s location or retrieved via network. Mobile map imaging expands into this, by adding the user mobility to the game. In this scenario, the user equipped with wireless mobile terminal, which might be a mobile phone or a pocket PC, receives the real-time map image updates.

Real-time imaging includes the methods for an interactive image processing, accessing, and decoding, including: 

• interactive image loading from remote location; 
• real-time image decoding; 
• spatial access - direct access to the region of interest without downloading and decoding the entire image. 

The methods are developed considering the constraint on the processing and operative memory resources of the terminal devices and limitations for communication channels of existed overlay networks.
