Wayfinding through orientation
Dominant approaches in computer-assisted wayfinding support adhere to the deeply
problematic principles of turn-by-turn navigation. In this article, we suggest a new approach …

Navigational aids and spatial memory impairment: The role of divided attention
Navigational aids impair spatial memory for experienced environments, but the cognitive
mechanisms underlying impairment remain an open question. Recent evidence implicates …

Introducing usability heuristics for mobile map applications
In this paper, a set of heuristics for evaluating the usability of mobile map applications is
introduced. We developed the heuristics by exploring the present generic heuristics and …

Travel‐route‐centered metro map layout and annotation
When providing travel guides for a specific route in a metro network, we often place the route
around the center of the map and annotate stations on the route with thumbnail …

A proactive route planning approach to navigation errors
Online navigation systems assume a person can follow a given route from origin to
destination. Nonetheless, spatial cognition studies show that wayfinding is a complex, highly …
