Abstract :
The British Automobile Association (AA) is experimenting with text-based routes databases. Digitized map bases used for navigation systems demand far higher volumes of data than are needed and usually reflect the cartographic complexity of the road network. Text-based routes systems minimize the amount of data needed by limiting the data to only what is needed to give correct and sensible directions understood by the driver.
