这项研究通过关注用户的寻路行为和获得的空间知识，比较了基于全球定位系统(GPS)的移动导航系统与纸质地图和直接体验路线的有效性。根据从这三家媒体中的一家获得的信息，参与者走了六条通往目标的路线。结果显示，与地图用户和直接体验参与者相比，GPS用户在步行过程中行驶的距离更长，停留的次数更多。此外，GPS用户的移动速度更慢，方向错误更大，绘制的示意图拓扑精度更差，而且比直接体验的参与者更难找到路。讨论了这三种学习媒体的导航特点以及基于GPS的导航系统无效的可能原因。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study examined the effectiveness of a Global Positioning System (GPS)-based mobile navigation system in comparison to paper maps and direct experience of routes, by focusing on the user's wayfinding behavior and acquired spatial knowledge. Based on information received from one of these three media, participants walked six routes finding the way to goals. Results showed that GPS users traveled longer distances and made more stops during the walk than map users and direct-experience participants. Also, GPS users traveled more slowly, made larger direction errors, drew sketch maps with poorer topological accuracy, and rated wayfinding tasks as more difficult than direct-experience participants. Characteristics of navigation with these three learning media and possible reasons for the ineffectiveness of the GPS-based navigation system are discussed. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
