Abstract :
The global positioning system (GPS) is a device applied in road navigation. In this context digital maps and mobile GPS-receivers are used. In general, these maps have been elaborated by professional cartographers and can only be updated from one release to the next. In times of web 2.0, however, dynamic content can be contributed by every single user. We explain a process which makes it possible for internet users to modify a map. The piece of research described here is part of a project called NAVIKI -- a compound of "Navigation" and "Wiki".
