Abstract

This study aims to investigate how design features and cross-culture factors affect the usability of web maps. Twelve volunteers performed two scenario-based tasks using three web maps in a Windows environment. There were four dependent variables: completion time, number of clicks, success rate and workload. Results revealed that different design features significantly affected users’ performances.
