The only study that checked mobile pedestrian navigation systems and their effects on cognitive maps (in Krüger’s term ‘Survey Knowledge’) of routes designed a very different methodology. In that study, 32 participants, 16 males and 16 femaleswithin age range of 15 and 40 were taken to a zoo for a 20 min walk without being told what they were expected to do later.They had visual and audio navigators telling them or showing them where to go. In the second part (the recall part) of the
study, they were tested to see how much they could remember from the routes they took. Researchers were following them at a distance of 5 to 10 meters (Krüger et al, 2004). Their method was applied in a landscape with less real indicators and
landmarks that help people to find their way. The literature review thus reveals a gap for further study. In this paper, the real environment of people’s daily life is investigated to see how they can remember the routes and the urban environment they interact with, sometimes on a regular basis .Therefore, in terms of the context and methods of investigating the effects of navigation systems and GPS on people’s cognitive maps, this study is original and fills the gap in the literature while at the same time may prove helpful to policy makers and urban designers. The exact implications and policies in terms of investments, social capital and design principles could be discussed in another paper.
