Abstract(in English) As cellular phones become smaller and more powerful, a navigation system using GPS on cellular phones has expanded, and its demand increases not only in urban areas but also in suburb areas. It is necessary to generate a deformed map that is appropriate for the display on a cellular phone whose display size is small and its processing performance is low. In this paper, we propose a deformed map generation algorithm that can be applied not only to urban areas mainly composed of straight lines, but also to suburb areas including straight lines and curves. The proposed algorithm is based on dividing the road network in an entire area into some groups and substitute each group with a straight line or a curve. At the same time it removes several nodes and links which we do not need in a deformed map. As a result of having applied the proposed algorithm to ten urban areas and ten suburb areas, we confirmed that the deformed maps easy to recognize were generated and its data size was reduced not only in the urban areas but also in the suburb areas with many curves.
