Today, GIS service requires not only a simple map visualization but also geographical information of each object. However, POI service provides simply geographical naming service only because of lacking in geographical information of objects. In addition, geographical space data representation functioning that is the basis for most GIS has not been standardized yet. In this paper, it is designed that POI DB that is hierarchical and user-oriented and it is constructed that GVP(GML Viewer POI) that is the basis of GML specification to overcome difference and incompatibility of map visualization. GVP adds POI DB in a 3-Layer structure to dBase file managing the information of SHP file attributes. Therefore, POI visualization enables hierarchical search, by providing POI information in directory-type grouping. Consisting of map visualization and POI visualization, GVP regenerates attributes in the form of individual objects and responds to user events immediately.
