“…In line with previous literature [1] we find that a basic implementation of ATCF navigation, as it is used in most commercial products, can have major disadvantages compared to TBT navigation when looking at navigation efficiency (reaching a destination as fast as possible without errors), at least with a route design like the one we used in our study. To explain these disadvantages we report on several situations that proved a challenge for ATCF navigation and test how much, if at all, these same situations affect TBT navigation.…”

“…When looking at bicycle navigation research many studies revolve around making navigation less intrusive, allowing cyclists to focus more on their surroundings as cycling in heavy traffic is not only demanding but also potentially dangerous [11,18,31]. This is often achieved by using auditory [1,12,16,20,36] or tactile [20,25,27,33] cues to convey the navigation instructions. Other modalities include instructions conveyed through light signals inside the helmet [20,34], on an external navigation device [7] or projections in front of the bicycle [5,6].…”

“…Based on related literature by Hochmair [13] and Albrecht et al [1], we identified two main challenges that confront users of ATCF navigation: (1) knowing whether they are currently on a route leading to their destination; (2) knowing whether a potential turn might result in a dead end or detour.…”

Visual as-the-crow-flies (ATCF) navigation methods are an increasingly popular alternative to existing turn-by-turn (TBT) navigation for cyclists. To better understand how people use them in everyday navigation and how they cope with the novel navigation method in challenging situations, we studied two main issues posed by ATCF navigation: knowing whether one is on the right route to their destination and knowing whether a turn leads into a dead end or detour. To investigate these two problems, we compared visual ATCF navigation against (1) TBT navigation and (2) an improved ATCF+ navigation system in two successive studies. We found that users encountered problems riding in the opposite direction to the destination and were often turning around as a result using the ATCF method. Using colour cues in the ATCF user interface we were able to reinforce correct route choices. Additionally, we found that unsuccessful route progression negatively correlates with user confidence.

There is a lack of widely available mobile map applications that effectively support pedestrian tourists who prefer the freedom of exploring their surroundings, and might not have an explicit destination they are trying to reach in mind. Although research systems to support such exploratory navigation have been developed, these are often only studied in controlled trials. It is therefore unclear if researchers are covering all types of navigation tourists do. To get a comprehensive picture of tourists' navigation, we carried out a field study with 16 tourists, shadowing them during part of their visit to Helsinki. Our findings support designers of mobile applications by describing the phases and dynamics of exploration and wayfinding, as well as how existing popular navigation tools are used during exploration. The phases contribute towards a framework for assessing existing tools and developing new ones to cover all navigation activities tourists undertake. We present 5 design implications to support creating tools that take into account the real-world insights collected in the study.
