由模型翻译 · 术语统一 · 请对照原文核对关键结论现代地图工具本质上仍是点击式系统，对地图视图或真实世界相机输入的多模态交互支持有限。这一局限在导航的最后 100 米以及原地探索周边时最为明显，此时用户会自然地把对地图的空间推理与对周围环境的自我中心感知结合起来。我们提出 IMAIA，一个交互式地理空间辅助框架，统一了三项核心能力：(1) 以地图为中心的空间理解，(2) 相机到地点的定位关联，(3) 以人为中心、感知朝向的导航。IMAIA 由两个可互操作的组件——Maps Plus 与 PAISA——构成，并由一个轻量级多智能体编排器协调。Maps Plus 将矢量地图与卫星地图转换为网格对齐的表示，从而支持灵活的、以视图为条件的空间查询。PAISA 将相机图像与位置、朝向、邻近度等地理空间信号融合，以解读自我中心场景并呈现附近地点的相关属性。该框架完全模块化：视觉语言后端可在不改变系统行为的情况下替换。IMAIA 在地图交互与真实世界交互中都能提供响应迅速、可解释且上下文感知的辅助，支撑起一类切实可部署的新型交互式地图体验。

Modern mapping tools remain fundamentally point-and-click systems, offering limited support for interactive, multimodal engagement with either map views or real-world camera inputs. This limitation becomes most apparent in the last 100 meters of navigation and during in-situ local discovery, where users naturally combine spatial reasoning over maps with egocentric perception of their surroundings. We introduce IMAIA, an interactive geospatial assistance framework that unifies three core capabilities: (1) map-centric spatial understanding, (2) camera-to-place grounding, and (3) human-centered, bearing-aware navigation. IMAIA consists of two interoperable components--Maps Plus and PAISA--coordinated by a lightweight multi-agent orchestrator. Maps Plus converts vector and satellite maps into a grid-aligned representation that enables flexible, view-conditioned spatial queries. PAISA fuses camera imagery with geospatial signals such as location, heading, and proximity to interpret egocentric scenes and surface relevant attributes of nearby places. The framework is fully modular: vision-language backends can be replaced without altering system behavior. IMAIA enables responsive, interpretable, and context-aware assistance across both map-based and real-world interactions, supporting a new class of interactive mapping experiences that are practical for real-world deployment.
