We observed that the exporting map task poses a design challenge
between customizability and efficiency. Applications with
longer map exporting times usually provided more options to
customize the map layout, text, etc., while applications with shorter
task times only generated screenshots of the map. Although current
GIS technology may not be able to significantly reduce the map
generation time, a better interface design is needed to notify users
about the generated file and possible additional actions required,
such as downloading.
