Recently, as the growth of the wireless Internet, PDA, and HPC, the focus of research and development has been changed to LBS (location based service). To offer LBS efficiently, there must be a real-time GIS platform that can deal with dynamic status of moving objects and a location index which can deal with the characteristics of location data. Therefore, in this paper, we studied the real-time mobile GIS based on the HBR-tree to manage mass of location data efficiently. The real-time mobile GIS mainly consists of the HBR (Hash Based R)-tree and the real-time GIS platform. The HBR-tree is a combined index type of the R-tree and the spatial hash index. Although location data are updated frequently, update operations are done within the same hash table in the HBR-tree, so it costs less than other tree-based indexes. The real-time GIS platform consists of a real-time GIS engine, a middleware, and a mobile client.
