- Map displaying landmarks that the user can include & list of tours that include those landmarks (clicking would go to map)
- Map view with current location and a route to follow (like an iPhone)
- Drag your finger in between landmarks on a map
Storyboard #2 (Aric)
- Map displaying landmarks that a user can include, auto-generate tour based on that
- Shows you the next step and then landmarks that are nearby/related/on the way
- Adding locations to a database, don’t specify tour route
Analysis:
- Learnability
- Unique icons for each type of location may not be implicit.
- Finding detailed info by clicking on icons shown on map may not be obvious.
- Ambiguity on "type" of location (Is a bar recreation or restaurant?).
- Map areas behave as expected (no additional learning if already familiar).
- Icons are used consistently throughout the tour process to solidify/clarify their purpose.
- Efficiency
- User cannot see selected locations while choosing additional ones.
- User cannot get an estimate on time/distance until all locations have been chosen.
- Several different screens to navigate to add a location (home page -> map page -> location page).
- Using map in substitute of address input saves time (starting spot, new location)
- Hard to add a specific place if it isn't on the map (have to go to the "advanced search" page).
- Finding a "subtype" of a more general "type" can be inefficient since each location has to be looked at individually (for instance, finding an authentic Italian restaurant among a wide variety of other restaurants).
- Safety
- Requires several deliberate button presses to add an event (good for error prevention)
- Easy to remove unwanted locations
- Directions to locations are not very detailed (just show the map, leaving potential for user to get lost).
Storyboard #3 (Ryan)
- Map displaying possible tour routes & filter using a list of landmarks with checkboxes
- Show you a picture of the next landmark with description, direction (like a compass)
- Modifying a tour by making changes while following
