The current online 6th Edition offers interactive and static thematic, reference and topographic maps. Initial interactive mapping user interfaces contained tools that were based on the developers' GIS experience. Users had, however, difficulty using these tools. To resolve this, the Atlas undertook considerable user and usability research initiatives and adopted and integrated a User Centred Design (UCD) process. This paper will look specifically at the methods used by the Atlas, the issues encountered and solutions achieved.

Use and users of the OROK-Atlas online / A. Pucher in Cartographic journal (the), vol 45 n° 2 (May 2008)

User-centred cartographic information architecture, the purposeful structuring of spatial-related information in the sense of an 'architecture of information' is a key issue in developing an interactive mapping system. These considerations have been followed in the development of the 'ÖROK-Atlas online', the Web-based version of the 'ÖROK Atlas on spatial development in Austria', one of Austria's most acknowledged thematic map series.

Conveying geospatial public transport information on the World-wide Web: a review of the United Kingdom sources / R. Scrimgeour in Cartographic journal (the), vol 45 n° 2 (May 2008)

Searches for relevant websites were made at different geographical scales; the breadth of content covered and level of technology used was assessed for each site found. Public Transport Maps on each website were rated according to eleven aspects of cartographic design and Web functionality. It was found that interactivity (represented by the use of higher technology) was greater for websites giving Public Transport Information for larger areas; however, the majority of information was communicated through text or static maps. The use of colour and symbology was generally found to be good in Public Transport Web maps, but marginalia was often insufficient and hardcopy printing sometimes inadequate, limiting the usability of the maps. A number of guidelines for good practice in the production of Public Transport Web maps are suggested, stressing the importance of clarity and legibility, plus some comments on website functionality.

Usability evaluation of Web mapping sites / Annu-Maaria Nivala in Cartographic journal (the), vol 45 n° 2 (May 2008)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 45 n° 2 (May 2008) . - pp 129 - 138 Titre : Usability evaluation of Web mapping sites Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Annu-Maaria Nivala, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp 129 - 138 Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géomatique [Termes IGN] analyse comparative [Termes IGN] cartographie par internet [Termes IGN] conception cartographique [Termes IGN] convivialité [Termes IGN] géomatique web [Termes IGN] utilisateur [Termes IGN] web mapping Résumé : (Auteur) To identify the potential usability problems of Web mapping sites, four different sites were evaluated: Google Maps, MSN Maps & Directions, MapQuest, and Multimap. The experiment comprised a series of expert evaluations and user tests. During the expert evaluations, eight usability engineers and eight cartographers examined the Web mapping sites by paying attention to their features and functionality. Additionally, eight user tests were carried out by ordinary users in a usability laboratory. In all, 403 usability problems were identified during the trial and were grouped according to their severity. A qualitative description is given of these usability problems, many of which were related to search operations that the users performed at the Web mapping sites. There were also several problems relating to the user interface, map visualisation, and map tools. We suggest some design guidelines for Web mapping sites based on the problems we identified and close the paper with a discussion of the findings and some conclusions.

Field-Based usability evaluation methodology for mobile geo-applications / Corné P.J.M. Van Elzakker in Cartographic journal (the), vol 45 n° 2 (May 2008)

Van Elzakker, Auteur ; Ioannis Delikostidis, Auteur ; Peter J. M.

Automatic generalisation, required for the user's orientation in space, but also for progressive data transfer, will be an important aspect of the prototype. What is reported here is an effective and technically unique user research methodology, based on a combination of video observation, thinking aloud and semi-structured interviewing. The experiments that have led to this outcome revealed some interesting usability issues that deserve further investigation.
