Heterogeneous users are users with a variety of GIS skills, educational background, gender, and age categories. We investigate how they interact with online maps and analyse their experience. WorldMap represents as a case study of an online mapping platform which aims to serve researchers and users across disciplines in viewing and creating online interactive maps. We concentrate on operations that are perceived as difficult and very difficult by the majority of users as well as operations that are rarely used. Our aim is to contribute to the discussions on how to improve the design of online GIS-based mapping platforms. We conclude the paper with reflections on the results of our study and ideas for further research.

Exploiting illusory grid lines for object-location memory performance in urban topographic maps / Frank Dickmann in Cartographic journal (the), Vol 54 n° 3 (August 2017)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > Vol 54 n° 3 (August 2017) . - pp 242-253 Titre : Exploiting illusory grid lines for object-location memory performance in urban topographic maps Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Frank Dickmann, Auteur ; Dennis Edler, Auteur ; Anne-Kathrin Bestgen, Auteur ; Lars Kuchinke, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 242-253 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie [Termes IGN] carte interactive [Termes IGN] carte topographique [Termes IGN] géopositionnement [Termes IGN] quadrillage [Termes IGN] symbole graphique [Termes IGN] système d'information géographique [Termes IGN] topologie Résumé : (Auteur) In order to be successful in spatial orientation tasks, people need to recall locations and configurations of spatial objects from their memory. This understanding of geographic space often arises from experience with cartographic media representing topographic and topological information by graphic symbols. Learning spatial information from graphic media is influenced by different perception-based grouping effects distorting the accuracy of spatial object-positions and their relations. Such geometric inaccuracies can be softened by adding a grid layer, which regionalizes the map and can be used as an additional orientation pattern. This grid layer usually consists of solid lines and overlays semantic information. The present paper reports the results of two empirical studies on object-location memory (OLM) performance. In these studies, the amount of visual detail of the grid layer was reduced. By positioning the grid layer below specific urban topographic objects (study 1), the grid pattern was graphically interrupted. These interrupted grid lines were completed by cognitive completion mechanisms (illusory grid lines) described in the Gestalt principles of closure and continuation. The second experiment examined the maximum grid line gap that is closed by cognitive line completion and keeps an advantage for OLM (study 2).
