Taking Location-Based Services (LBS) as the study context, to address the limitation of visualizing Points of Interest (POI) on conventional maps, a novel tag cloud called “LBS tag cloud” is proposed, and a corresponding generation method based on tag radial displacement is designed in this study. The main innovation of the LBS tag cloud is the incorporation of a layout center into the regular tag cloud and determination of the placement of the tags according to the spatial relationship between the tags and the center. The generation method designed in this paper is outlined as follows: first, the geographical location of the LBS user is used as the layout center; then, the text tag is generated based on the name of the POI, and visual variables such as font size and color of the tag are determined according to the attributes of the POI; and finally, the initial placement position of the tag is calculated according to the relationship between the tag and the center, and the tag is then displaced radially from the initial placement position to a position where there is no overlap with other tags. During the displacement, the order of near and far is ensured based on the angular adjacent relationship. The tag collision detection efficiency is improved by using a quadtree to approximate the glyph outline. Taking the POI of scenic spots as an example, we discuss the usability and scalability of the LBS tag cloud in three scenarios. The results show that compared with conventional maps, the LBS tag cloud can display more POI and effectively highlight the information that users care about, such as the popularity, rating, and travel time of POI. Although the LBS tag cloud contains a certain distance deformation, the synergy of multiple visual variables effectively alleviates the cognitive error caused by the distance deformation. In summary, the LBS tag cloud can completely and intuitively represent the spatial distribution, multi-dimensional attributes of POI, and their relationship with the user's location. It is a new visualization form suitable for users to recognize the surrounding environment efficiently.
