Abstract
The speaker has made a system to share a digital map on a tablet.Although a "digital textbook".Recently Japanese producters try to be popular,is not allow for teachers to create and fix,evelybody the can make maps and share on this system.In this experiment "iPad2" was used. The application software was "Google Earth"and "Chizu Burari"."Google Earth"is a good compatibility with PC's GIS.Teachers are able to show digital maps for students freely. But,there is some problem when the line is unstable.Tendency is particularly evident in the field. "Chizuburari"is treated as a map image data. Grant and location information embedded in the photo is made from a PC via the cloud.Students can carry on a tablet every map,wold map,topographic maps, old maps,tourist guide map,hazard map and so on.It is also suitable for field survey map.Because it corresponds to the current location by GPS.However, there are several problems.User have to align the map even though map data with location information.The user can not see the map on the tablet as soon as registered. This is because it requires review and approval of the application for renewal. Since the target area and an update user are limited,General teachers are not readily available. Geography Education is redy to get a " self-made atlas".Improve the problem,I want to continue to enhance the development of digital material that suits the circumstances of thescene.
