Abstract: The widespread use of mobile devices in basic map navigation tasks has recently attracted researchers on usability problems arising from the reduced visualization area and the limited interaction modes allowed by small screens. In this paper we analyze the most common approaches suggested in the literature and present the results of a usability study carried out on one of them, an interactive technique, named FRAMY, which was conceived to cover a wider range of spatial data visualization tasks, possibly involving different geographic layers. A comparative usability study has been carried out on Framy and a traditional map application in order to evaluate the inoact of the novel approach on usability, in terms of efficiency and efficacy.

Visualizing information on mobile devices
TL;DR: Although ongoing improvements would not eliminate most device limitations or alter the mobility context, they make it easier to create and experiment with alternative approaches, and building more sophisticated mobile visualizations become easier due to new, possibly standard, software APIs and increasingly powerful devices.
Halo: a Technique for Visualizing Off-Screen Locations
Patrick Baudisch,Ruth Rosenholtz +1 more
- 01 Jan 2003
TL;DR: A user study comparing Halo with an arrow-based visualization technique with respect to four types of map-based route planning tasks finds that when using the Halo interface, users completed tasks 16-33% faster, while there were no significant differences in error rate for three out of four tasks.

Framy-visualising geographic data on mobile interfaces
TL;DR: A new visualisation technique, named Framy, is proposed, which exploits a novel interaction metaphor for picture frames to provide hints about off-screen objects to cover a wider range of spatial data visualisation tasks, which may simultaneously involve different geographic layers.
