Mobile　cartography　cannot　directly　copy　the　desktop　mapping　visualization　because　of　small　screen,　low　resolution　and　diverse　performance　of　mobile　terminal.　Therefore,　this　paper　puts　forward　an　adaptive　mobile　cartography　visualization　method　based　on　information　of　terminal　devices.　This　method　starts　from　presenting　the　terminal　position　of　the　location　service,　and　generates　a　terminal-position-oriented　data　query　box　of　screen.　Then　map　server　according　to　the　performance　information　of　the　terminal　device　automatically　determines　appropriate　way　of　mobile　terminal　visualization,　and　visualizes　the　received　map　data.　©　2013　IEEE.
