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 then forming new theory-based
heuristics. Usability specialists tested the heuristics by evaluating the usability
of a mobile map application with both generic and domain-specific
heuristics. As a result, more usability problems were found with the proposed
domain-specific heuristics. In addition, based on the evaluators’
views the initial domain-specific heuristics were further developed. We conclude
by proposing domain-specific usability heuristics for evaluating the
mobile map applications.
