The understanding of human beings’ various capabilities has been applied as a universal theme in various fields from
physiology to even user interface engineering. In this paper, we are challenged to reason human map-reading ability in a new fashion with a methodology currently available. Historically, it has not been long that we started to publicly use map like today’s paper maps or on-line versions. Strictly speaking, the map-reading ability would be different from geo-space recognition capability. However, in this paper, we refer to the term as a rather generalized ability including the capability to find ways well using maps. In general, we believe that each person has a different map-reading ability generally. While the complete understanding of such a kind of capability would require many interdisciplinary studies, we can easily imagine that someone who has lived a suburban area with small buildings for her lifetime would have a tendency to lose her way in a big city featuring sophisticated structures [9, 10]. It could be understood that her geo-space recognition was not developed to find ways for such sophisticated places like the canyon of city buildings. Ellard [1] wrote in his book that it is important that we need to better understand how the human mind works, rather than look for technological solutions to all of our problems. He insists that there needs to be greater connection to psychology for architects and urban planners to better design our physical spaces for human way finding. We think his opinion is important things. We consider that not only the architect but also the developer of the navigation should consider human map-reading ability. Then, the navigation system will be able to do the most suitable guidance for a user. Therefore, we try to measure a human mapreading ability. Likewise, men vs. women, young vs. elderly, Asian vs. Western, etc., people have developed their own capability to adapt themselves in their living spaces. For instance, people going on a voyage and people living in the desert cannot live if they do not read a map definitely. What will the people who can keep reading a map such as them definitely pay attention mainly? There should be a need matter of their own. Some studies found that women usually use color or shape in route finding. Meanwhile, men are generally superior in remembering topology or sensing a distance [3, 4]. Of course, there are also individual differences in the ability. To achieve our purpose to support a simplified map to users, we think that the measuring of each person’s map-reading ability is the most essential factor.
