1. A method of producing an interactive map, wherein the method includes, in a computer system:
- determining graphic data indicative of a visible representation of a map of a geographic area;
determining an identity;
generating plurality of location-indicating tags, each tag containing coded data indicative of the identity and of an x-y coordinate on the map;
determining a page description, the page description being indicative of a layout of the and the graphic data;
recording, in a database, an association between the identity and the page description; and
,causing the interactive map to be printed by printing of the graphic data and the coded data onto a surface using the layout.

Abstract
A method of producing an interactive map using a computer system. The method includes determining graphic data indicative of a visible representation of a map of a geographic area and determining an identity. The computer system then generates coded data indicative of the identity and of a plurality of reference points of the map, and records an association between the identity and a page description, the page description being indicative of a layout of the coded data and the graphic data. The computer system then causes the map to be printed by printing of the graphic data and the coded data onto a surface using the layout.

13. A method of producing an interactive map, wherein the method includes, in a sensing device:
-
sensing second coded data provided on or in an interface surface; generating, using the sensed second coded data, indicating data indicative of; an identity of the interface surface; and a position of the sensing device with respect to interface surface; and
,transferring the indicating data to a computer system, the computer system being responsive to the indicating data to; determine, using the indicating data, a geographic area; determine, using the geographic area, graphic data indicative of a visible representation of a map of the geographic area; determine an identity; generate a plurality of location-indicating tags, each tag containing coded data indicative of the identity and of an x-y coordinate on the map; determine a page description, the page description being indicative of a layout of the coded data and the graphic data; record an association between the identity and the page description; and
,cause the interactive map to be printed by printing of the graphic data and the coded data onto a surface using the layout. - View Dependent Claims (14)
