ENTRY OF DESTINATIONS INTO ROUTE GUIDANCE SYSTEMS A HUMAN FACTORS EVALUATION

This research examined four touchscreen methods for entering a destination into a route guidance system. Three of the interfaces were character entry-based (doublepress, Qwerty-style keypad, and phone pad), while the fourth interface provided a scrollable alphabetic list. Entry methods were evaluated based on entry time driving performance, errors, preferences, and perceived difficulty.
