Cover Story: In our mobile society, mobile maps are increasingly used in varying map use situations. This has led to an increase in map use contexts, which can be leveraged for determining a suitable context-based map design. Our research sought to analyze combinations of map use contexts to identify relevant contextual factors that influence mobile map design usability. In an online survey with 50 participants, we assessed the usability of 27 map design variations (consisting of map-reading tasks, base map styles, and interactivity variants) and evaluated emerging user patterns of the collected data on usability and map use context. We found that the overall map design is critical in supporting map-reading activities. It was also possible to create archetypal representations of our participants and identify corresponding and suitable map design profiles. View this paper
