A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
Turn-by-turn Google maps navigation was compared to turn-by-turn auditory Google maps navigation, Beeline as-the-crow-flies navigation, and turn-by-turn printed textual navigation. Through a convenience sample data from 30 participant have been gathered. Participants completed a navigational task in Vinkhuizen, Groningen, four times, with a different device in each part. As measured by eye-fixations, auditory turn-by-turn navigation imposed a smaller visual workload demand than regular google maps turn-by-turn navigation. The audio instruction did not require visual attention; however, the auditory navigation was not preferred due to technical difficulties, the absence of a replay option and insufficient audibility participants experienced. Contrary to expectations, turn-by-turn google maps navigation was not more visually demanding than as-the-crow-flies navigation. Also printed textual turn-by-turn navigation was not more visually demanding for the cyclist than turn-by-turn google maps instructions.
