“…the north is always at the top). Indeed, as shown by various studies (e.g., [15,32]), the number of navigational errors decreases with a forward-up map compared to a north-up map. Moreover, forward-up maps allow users to better understand their orientation and to reach targets faster [31].…”

“…Many mobile guides provide route planning information and directions for wayfinding (e.g., [10,17,28]). Specific mobile guides have been also developed to provide information and navigation assistance in fairs (e.g., [16,32]), museums (e.g., [11,29]), public transportation (e.g., [19]), or even to support user's social life (e.g., [21,26]). …”

Supporting users' navigation is a fundamental feature of mobile guides. This paper presents an experimental evaluation comparing three different ways of providing navigation guidance by combining visual and audio directions during guided city tours. The three considered solutions differ in the way audio directions are augmented with visual directions: a traditional map-based solution, a combination of a map and photographs of the area, a combination of large arrows and photographs. The results of our evaluation show that when the map is combined with photographs that clearly indicate the direction to the user or when the map is replaced by a combination of directional arrows and photographs, users' performance is significantly better. Moreover, the combination of map and photographs was highly preferred by users.

Route planning services for a priori route planning on computers or on-demand planning on mobile devices are omnipresent, not only for vehicles but also for bicyclists or pedestrians. Furthermore, public or commercial buildings such as hospitals, hotels or shopping malls are getting bigger and their inner complexity increases. Additionally, most of the time of our lives is spent indoors, apparently quite often in unknown and foreign buildings. Consequently, the need for mature indoor route planning applications emerged and both academia and economy are now trying to adapt well known outdoor routing services to complex indoor spaces. Contrary to the outdoors, where typically commercial data providers or professional surveyors capture spatial data, it is unlikely that commercial institutes are able to capture indoor information on a large-scale. In the last couple of years, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) or crowdsourced geodata has increasingly gained attractiveness and the manifoldness and quality of such data has already been demonstrated in different (outdoor) applications. Trying to gain traction in the emerging field of indoor applications, OpenStreetMap (OSM) as one of the most popular VGI communities aims at taking the lead in capturing information about indoor spaces. Trying to satisfy the demand for indoor services, this chapter presents an extensive application for indoor environments. By providing indoor maps and route planning services with indoor OSM data, the here conducted work on the one hand demonstrates the possibilities arising from VGI and on the other hand provides a mature indoor application. In particular, the developed application can be used for a priori route planning at home on a personal computer as well as for on-demand route planning on a mobile device. A prototypical implementation for BlackBerry smartphones is also presented, whereas the application, due to its design and technology, can be easily ported to other mobile platforms such as Android smartphones, iPhones or iPads.

Using Crowdsourced Indoor Geodata for the Creation of a Three-Dimensional Indoor Routing Web Application

Routing services for outdoor areas are omnipresent and also three-dimensional (3D) visualization is quite common within this area. Recent research efforts are now trying to adapt well known outdoor routing services to complex indoor environments. However, most of the current indoor routing systems only focus on two-dimensional visualization, thus only one level can be depicted. Especially multi-level routes therefore lack visualization. Also, most of the (few) existing 3D indoor routing services utilize proprietary software or plugins, thus a widespread accessibility for those services by using common computers or mobile devices is not feasible. Therefore this paper describes the development of a web-based 3D routing system based on a new HTML extension. The visualization of rooms as well as the computed routes is realized with XML3D. Since this emerging technology is based on WebGL and will likely be integrated into the HTML5 standard, the developed system is already compatible with most common browsers such as Google Chrome or Firefox. Another key difference of the approach presented in this paper is that all utilized data is actually crowdsourced geodata from OpenStreetMap (OSM). Such data is collaboratively collected by both amateurs and professionals and can be used at no charge under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL). Our research combines user-generated geo content of the Web 2.0 with future Internet technology for the provision of a ubiquitously accessible 3D indoor routing application
