Abstract
The paper offers the presentation of scientific approach with examination, comparison and review in past activities in map presentation and geovisualization design forms for small PDA screens. Virtual environments are everyday experience for ordinary users, but we still have scientific discussions about 2D or 3D map presentation on PDA because of their limitations. We present here scientific projects, masters and doctoral dissertations, industrial solutions and todays commercial geovisualization solutions and geovisualization solutions for PDAs recommended there. One can see that some of the solutions are not applied in commercial softwares offered to tourists. Recent scientific projects and works with such themes seem to have a little or no interest for the questions about whether offered solutions are suitable within the mobile environment, but are concentrated instead on technology and problems of limitations of this technology paying much less attention to graphic quality and clearness of presentation.
