| Abstract | Due to the rapid advance of mobile devices and on-line global map services, way-finding in outdoor environments is becoming much easier and comfortable. However, some people are still complaining to navigation systems for their poor guidance. In the infancy of such systems, many navigation systems had weak points with some reasons such as i) lack of map data enough to guide routes precisely, ii) no other way than the shortest path route search method, and iii) no consecutive map update. However, present mobile navigation systems have conquered those problems; we can now access to on-line map, which are continuously updating, over high-speed mobile networks and can be supported by much smarter route search functions. However, there is still an unclear point about why we get lost with the powerful navigation systems: someone is still confused and struggling in their route searches. In our research, instead of exploring further navigational functions, we will focus on the human ability about map reading and understanding. Actually, in our experiment based on iPhone with navigation software, we could clarify the problems and the reasons from the different map-reading abilities by people. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
