In this work-in-progress we present some ideas and
findings involving map design and human performance.
Satellites has once and for all automated geographic
positioning and resulted in a plethora of map
applications, not only in professional transportation but
also in the private sphere, in cars and even for street
use in mobile phones. But many people have problems
using the traditional bird’s-eye view maps. The maze
experiment presented here show that an egocentric
(“out of the window”) view of the map results in faster
decision making and fewer errors. Can this also address
some of the human-out-of-the-loop problems of
navigation automation?
