Abstract :
New ways for map creation are presented. Instead of using the physical distance between locations the distance is measured in time, cost, environmental effect or as a weighted version between the different parameters. The maps will be personal and changed based on the user preferences so the map appearance will be different for different users. In closed-up version the standard map with physical distance should still be used since it is very important that the map resembles the actual surrounding when you are using a map in a local environment. As devices are connected to the Internet the calculation of distance can be made on-line and follow train/flight departures and delays.
