How should Orientation Maps look like?

Abstract

Maps are often used to navigate in unfamiliar environments. However, maps that are displayed on small screen devices cannot simultaneously display overview and detailed information. To bridge that gap, we aim to develop orientation maps and argue that these maps should only display relevant map features instead of simply reducing detailed information with decreasing map scales. In this paper we present a classification scheme for orientation information in orientation maps. Moreover, we specify guiding questions for future work on automatically creating orientation maps.
