“…This issue will dominate the discussions throughout this paper. Generally, the following approaches to route information can be distinguished: a) those that take a complete route as input and optimize route directions for this particular route [9,44,28]; b) those that optimize the route choice based on cognitive aspects, for example, to ease the description of the route or to reduce the likelyhood of getting lost [13,5,20]; c) those that differentiate between parts of the environment that are known to the wayfinder and parts that are unknown. The idea here is to provide only coarse information for the known parts (i.e., to abstract from a concrete route and only announce (intermediate) destinations), while being detailed in the unknown parts (i.e., giving turn-by-turn instructions) there [41,22,47,53,49,46].…”
