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.

User aspects of adaptative visualization for mobile maps / Annu-Maaria Nivala in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, vol 34 n° 4 (October 2007)  

Public [article]  inCartography and Geographic Information Science > vol 34 n° 4 (October 2007) . - pp 275 - 284 Titre : User aspects of adaptative visualization for mobile maps Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Annu-Maaria Nivala, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp 275 - 284 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie numérique [Termes IGN] appareil portable [Termes IGN] conception cartographique [Termes IGN] lecture de carte [Termes IGN] petit écran [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] sémiologie graphique [Termes IGN] symbole graphique [Termes IGN] visualisation cartographique Résumé : (Auteur) The objective of map design is to create, in the mind of map users, an abstraction of the real world appropriate to the map's purpose. The success of the design depends not only on the cartographer's skill but also on the user's ability to read the map and on the particular circumstances of its use. If the user does not understand the meaning of the map symbols, this may lead to frustration or misinterpretations. If, in a mobile map context, users can be provided, in real-time, with map symbols adapted to particular use situations and user preferences, more effective map reading could result. This paper studies those user aspects where map symbols and other visualization are adapted for mobile users' specific needs. A discussion on the importance of understanding cartographic principles in mobile map design is followed by the description of an adaptive mobile map service implemented within an EU project called "GiMoDig." This service delivers maps with different point of interest (PoI) symbols and different map designs for varying user groups in different use situations. The paper describes how the cartographic design was evaluated and how the intuitivity of the map symbols was tested. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for future research topics are discussed.

Preventing interruptions in mobile map reading process by personnalisation / Annu-Maaria Nivala (2004)    

Public Titre : Preventing interruptions in mobile map reading process by personnalisation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Annu-Maaria Nivala, Auteur ; L.

The final result depends, not only on the cartographers', but also users' skills and ways to perceive, as well as on the map usage situation. Interruptions during map reading process of mobile maps occur, when the conceptual models of the cartographer and the user do not match, e.g. if the user does not understand the symbols, or the overall layout of the mobile map. This can be frustrating from the users' point of view. It is thought here, that by bringing context awareness into the maps on mobile devices, interruptions in map reading process could be decreased, by providing each user with symbols that are adapted to the usage situation and user preferences in real-time. In this paper some ideas, of how to implement context awareness into mobile maps by personalisation, are presented.
