social networking and 3D visualisation technology, maps are becoming almost unlimited in

their functionality and capable of incorporating real-time updates. 5.1. _____ For instance,

tourists will be able to plan their trips by using their phones to project a 3D map onto a wall.

Then they’ll be able to manipulate it remotely with their fingers, adding layers of information

such as landmarks, restaurants, recommendations from friends, as well as transport links and

times. As digital maps can now be linked to an almost infinite number of data sets, they’re

also going to become more personalised. Cyclists or surfers, for example, will be able to add

whatever information they find relevant. And soon we may not only be visualising maps.

5.2. _____ This kind of function in a map would also be an obvious advantage for people

whose sight is impaired.

Not only does geo-location help us know where we are and what there is of interest around us,

it can also show us where everyone else is, and what they think is useful and interesting.

5.3. _____ Consequently, we receive real-time alerts from fellow drivers, and hopefully enjoy

a less frustrating journey. In my area, over 1,500 motorists drove 105,000 miles and posted

and shared 528 road alerts in the last week alone. Of course, a system based on collecting data

from users’ posts works better when more people take part, so if the number is smaller, it

might not always be 100% reliable. 5.4. _____ National emergency services spring to mind

first when one thinks of the users of the more precise, dynamically-updated maps which are

currently available.

While new interaction technologies are making maps richer, there is still one underlying theme

uniting all maps throughout history – location. We’ll always need to know where we are.

A. Thus, maps are becoming social. Many navigation applications for mobile phones are

incorporating live updates from their community of users to give commuters tips on how

to avoid traffic jams.

B. And in the years to come the way we interact with maps will undergo even more

transformations.

C. It’s said that about one billion hours of travel time and 3.5 billion litres of fuel are saved

globally due to improved navigation.

D. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that such services can improve the accuracy of maps

to the benefit of all.

E. They may be talking to us, too. Words are sometimes better than pictures, particularly if

you don’t want to keep stopping to look at your smartphone.
