Review outlines design strategies for adaptive mobile mapping interfaces, highlighting critical safety challenges and the need for user control.
Key Points
Synthesize interdisciplinary research on mobile map adaptation and establish a research agenda for creating responsible, context-aware mobile map applications tailored to diverse users.
Synthesized findings across context-aware computing, adaptive user interfaces, location-based services, and adaptive cartography.
Analyzed the trade-offs of dynamic map guidance through an illustrative context-aware navigation scenario.
Defined mobile map adaptation as a system sharing initiative, execution, and control between users and applications.
Identified 19 research opportunities spanning seven core domains, including algorithmic explainability, user overreliance, data privacy, and handling spatial uncertainty.
