Using mobile maps to represent urban, work, or
entertainment environments offers new possibilities to plan
and carry out tasks. One potentially critical problem in mobile
map usage is the misalignment between the user's frame of
reference and the frame of reference of the map. In the
experiment reported here, three different ‘orientation aids’
were tested in the context of restricted space, such as a large
factory hall. The aim of the study was to find out how user
interface design can help the user mentally align misaligned
frames of reference for efficient mobile map use. The results of
the experiment (N = 12) suggest using a ‘you are here’ marker
and landmark highlighting, while canonical direction symbols
proved to be less plausible. Further, a maximum number of
seven targets on the map is suggested.
