In this context the correct amount of information means only the information that is relevant to the user profile (identity), the current location and the user's behaviour and that can be displayed on a mobile user device, such as a PDA. In other words, users can use a mobile device offering adaptive cartography to obtain information without interacting with the device. The information will be provided automatically. This was the inspiration behind the proposal of the RGI-149 Geo-information to-go project to adopt this approach for environmental officials (for example, pollution control officers). This integration of context awareness and mobile technology can be used to identify environmental crimes and raise environmental awareness. By using the adaptive method, environmental crime officers could be provided with the correct amount of geo-information. In this context the correct amount of geo-information means that the environmental officers will be provided only with information related to their profile as investigative officers and to their position. The question of how to implement this approach is the central issue behind this report.

This report describes the information that may be used in the BSik project RGI-149 "Geo-info to-go", which is applying a push approach to displaying the correct amount of geo-information to users.

In other words, users can use a mobile device offering adaptive cartography to obtain information without interacting with the device. The information will be provided automatically.
