Abstract

In this paper, we will present an analytical and methodological procedure to evaluate the interfaces of Inter-active Maps. The main aims of one such evaluation is to (i) identify the essential aspects of these interfaces, (ii) investigate their influence on the communication with users and, based on this, (iii) set directives to guide the design of interfaces of future Interactive Maps. The process of evaluation leads to a detailed analysis of both the interface and the interaction itself. In order to do so, the process consists of the analysis of the essential elements of the interfaces, the evaluation of these aspects in relation to the users and, finally, the study of the results obtained. The results mainly refer to significant information on those aspects of the interfaces which, in turn, concern the necessary resources to both the interaction itself and the functionalities that Interactive Maps provide.
