Location services is a growing field that is expected to boost when more rapid transmission speed and automatic position through the Telcos network are introduced. Mapping services is one of the value added services that will be integrated with various content. The focus of this paper is to explain the issues for adjusting maps to mobile Internet terminals. The challenge is to fit very detailed and large scale data on very small and monochrome display. In addition there will be a discussion on terminal recognition used for map rendering. How should themes and priorities be set to maximize the information gain in a map? An introduction is given of the potential in ArcIMS to render maps for Mobile Internet devices.
