AN EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY OF AN AUTOMOBILE MOVING- MAP NAVIGATIONAL DISPLAY

This article describes an experiment which was performed to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of navigating with an automobile moving-map display relative to navigating with a conventional paper map and along a memorized route, which served as a baseline for comparison. Results indicated that there were no differences in the quality of routes selected with either method, but the moving-map system resulted in the driver's gaze being drawn away from the driving task.
