  • Navigating on Web Maps: Route Characteristics and Performance
    Navigating on web maps: Route characteristics and performance Stefan Fuest Rui Li Angela Schwering Institute for Geoinformatics Department of Institute for Geoinformatics University of Muenster Geography and Planning University of Muenster Heisenbergstraße 2 University at Albany, SUNY Heisenbergstraße 2 Muenster, Germany 1400 Washington Ave Muenster, Germany [email protected] Albany, NY, USA [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Providing spatial information by using maps has been developed into a widely accepted means for supporting wayfinding. While most studies focus on the effects of actual wayfinding performance, this study investigates how different route characteristics affect the interactions and wayfinding on online maps. These characteristics are assessed by constructing verbal route descriptions in three different conditions: 1) allocentric, 2) egocentric, and 3) landmark-based. In total 22 participants were randomly assigned to navigate using all three conditions of instructions to find waypoints on routes with the similar complexity and length. Preliminary results reveal that participants with lower spatial abilities took significantly longer time to complete the navigation tasks than those with higher spatial ability. Furthermore, using allocentric route instructions, participants took less time in finding the waypoints than those using landmark-based instructions. Additionally, interactions such as zooming were found associated with the instruction type. In particular, these findings are slightly different from previous studies carried out in actual environment indicating that landmark-based route instructions are most supportive for actual wayfinding and spatial orientation. When using and interacting directly with maps, however, instructions provided through an egocentric or landmark-based frame, require participants to transfer their acquired egocentric frame of reference to an allocentric frame as represented in maps.

  • Gps (Global Positioning System)
    GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM) What is GPS? GPS, standing for Global Positioning System, is becoming common nowadays. Following is a brief introduction. The American Defense Department developed GPS originally for military operations. The system is available for use by the general public. For example, anybody can use GPS in association with modern vehicle navigation systems. Position precision for public use is approximately 15 m. Moreover, precision can be improved when a vehicle is used for navigation and aboard ships through use of map matching technology and differential GPS techniques. A total of 24 or more GPS satellites are at a high-level altitude of approximately 20,000 km on six circular tracks with an orbital radius of approximately 26,000 km. Therefore, there are four or more satellites located in each orbital track. For civilian use, the RF carrier frequency of the satellites is 1575.42 MHz. Spread spectrum (SS) technology is used over a bandwidth of 2.046 MHz to prevent interference among all the satellite signals on a common carrier frequency. Position Determination Principle The GPS receiver receives the radio signals transmitted from the GPS satellites. The receiver measures the time duration between when the signal leaves the satellite and when the signal arrives at the GPS receiver. Knowing this time allows calculation of the distance that the signal traveled from that particular satellite. By receiving multiple signals from different satellites and doing this distance calculation multiple times, the intersection of the spherical surfaces that represent the respective radius distances to the various satellites will determine a single point.

  • Waskowitz Outdoor School
    Waskowitz Outdoor School CORE LESSON: Basic Orienteering Objectives and Summary: Students practice basic compass and navigation skills. This lesson includes experimenting with the construction and use of a homemade compass, an introduction to cardinal directions presented as degree bearings on a modern compass and the establishment of a personal 100’ pace count. Students apply these skills in small groups to complete a basic ecologically themed orienteering course (with the guidance of high school leaders). Background: The position of the Sun in the sky can be used for orientation if the general time of day is known. In the morning the Sun rises roughly in the east. In the evening it sets in the west. In the middle of the day it is to the south for viewers in the Northern Hemisphere, who live north of the Tropic of Cancer. Because of the Earth's axial tilt, no matter what the location of the viewer, there are only two days each year when the sun rises precisely due east. These days are the equinoxes. On all other days, depending on the time of year, the sun rises either north or south of true east (and sets north or south of true west). For all locations, the sun is seen to rise north of east (and set north of west) from the Spring equinox to the Fall equinox (ie, in summertime) and rise south of east (and set south of west) from the Fall equinox to the Spring equinox (ie, in wintertime). How a compass works (from: www.livescience.com/32732-how-does-a-compass-work.html): A compass points north because all magnets have two poles, a north pole and a south pole, and the north pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of another magnet.

  • Outdoor Skills Lesson Plan for Geocaching and Orienteering
    Outdoor Skills Lesson Plan for Geocaching and Orienteering PARTY Grant funded by Resource Enhancement and Protection Conservation Education Program (REAP-CEP) & Polk County Conservation Goal: Participants will gain experience and understanding of how to use a GPS unit and compass. Participants will learn about geocaching. Objective: 1. Students will be able to find the four cardinal directions using a compass. 2. Students will be able to read compass degrees and follow a set-up course. 3. Students will be able to use a GPS unit to find at least three caches. Materials: 30 compasses, flagging to set-up compass course, copies of compass routes for participants, 10-20 Garmin eTrex GPS units, three treasure-filled caches, big outside open space to hide the caches Season: Fall, Spring and Summer work best Time: 2 hours Information Part 1 – Using a Compass History of Compasses • The first compass was invented by the Chinese almost 2,000 years ago. • A compass is a navigational instrument for finding directions on the earth. The magnetic needle aligns itself with the Earth’s magnetic field. Compass Directions • Four cardinal directions are north, east, south, and west. • Compass directions (north, east, south, and west) are also read in degrees, like the degrees of a circle. North = 0 or 360 degrees, south = 180 degrees, east = 90 degrees, and west = 270 degrees. These degrees which tell us a certain direction are also called bearings. Parts of Compass • Magnetic needle • Orienting arrow • Compass housing unit (dial) • Direction of travel arrow • Base plate Tips on using a compass • Directly face the object to which you are measuring the bearing.

    UNCLASSIFIED/UNLIMITED Alternative Display and Directional Modalities in Support of Soldier Way-finding Major Linda LM Bossi1, Mr. David W Tack2, & Dr. John Frim3 1 Integrated Soldier System Project, Toronto Detachment, 1133 Sheppard Ave W, PO Box 2000 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M3M 3B9 2 HumanSystems Incorporated 111 Farquhar Street Guelph, Ontario, Canada, N1H 3N4 3 Defence Research and Development Canada – Toronto 1133 Sheppard Ave West, PO Box 2000 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M3M 3B9 [email protected] / [email protected] / [email protected] ABSTRACT The Soldier Information Requirements Technology Demonstration (SIREQ TD) project was a human- factors-focused experimentation program to identify technologies that could significantly enhance the performance of our future soldiers. SIREQ TD identified navigation as an important task, and further cognitive task analysis confirmed that wayfinding via compass and map is difficult and prone to significant cumulative error, particularly at night. SIREQ TD developed the Future Infantry Navigation Device (FIND) as an experimentation test bed to enable detailed studies of the impact of various modes and levels of navigational information on soldier wayfinding performance. The FIND system used a GPS receiver and magnetic compass coupled to a laptop computer carried in a small backpack to track soldier position and movement. Comparison of position information against the stored map and pre-planned routes allowed the computer to provide navigational cues to the soldier via various means. Studies compared visual, auditory, and tactile display modalities as sensory inputs and investigated the effects of providing different amounts or qualities (ie, 1-dimensional (1D) and 2-dimensional (2D)) of information to the soldier.
