| Abstract | In this work we make three contributions to the design and use of map symbology on mobile devices. First, we present an overview of the current state of mobile symbology and best practices based on previous empirical findings. Second, we demonstrate the design of a new set of map symbols for mobile devices based on these guidelines and proposed design strategies. These new symbols were developed for comparison with an existing standard used by emergency management and disaster relief professionals. Lastly, we discuss the role of skeuomorphism in the context of affording interaction in map symbol design. We believe this work advances the science of mobile symbology and demonstrates a practical application of skeuomorphic design in modern mapping applications. |
