Abstract
The visualization of specific attributes of the maps is not achieved with standard maps representations or area cartograms. Adaptive Maps can deal with multiple attributes like travel time, quality of the road or tourism interest of the path between two points.
A method to generate and visualize Adaptive Maps is proposed. It departs from a graph with multiple attributes and generates a single measurement matrix that represent the desired distance between points. A Multidimensional Scaling problem on that matrix is solved to finally visualize the adapted map.
To illustrate the proposal, 4 adapted maps are generated and visualized.
