Mapper’s Mission: Getting Directions
• A large portion of users are interested in getting from one location to another.
• They want to:enter a start pointenter an end pointhit “GO!”see directions
• These users vary in their computer experience.
• Our test case: the user wants to get from their house to the beach.
Does Google Maps help them, or hinder them?
Good Points
• Interface is consistent and clean• Expert-user options available but hidden• Allows for multiple destinations• Gives the user options but has a default• Live traffic view (!?)
