Millions of people use mobile map applications like Google Maps on a regular basis. However, despite these applications' ubiquity, the literature contains very little information about how these applications are used in the real world. As such, many researchers and practitioners seeking to improve mobile map applications may not be able to identify important challenges and may miss major opportunities for innovation. To address this paucity of usage information, we collected and analysed data during unsupervised usage of Google Maps by replacing the standard application with a wrapped version called MapRecorder. In two studies we recorded data from locals and tourists using our application and collected over 580 minutes of actual application usage from 34 users, spanning 555 unique sessions. We identify typical usage scenarios, observe a large amount of map exploration and elucidate generalisable interaction patterns.

MapRecorder:分析移动地图应用程序的实际使用情况

数以百万计的人定期使用谷歌地图等移动地图应用程序。然而,尽管这些应用程序无处不在,但文献中很少包含有关这些应用程序如何在现实世界中使用的信息。因此,许多寻求改进移动地图应用程序的研究人员和从业人员可能无法识别重要的挑战,并可能错过重大的创新机会。为了解决这种使用信息匮乏的问题,我们在无监督使用 Google 地图期间收集和分析了数据,方法是将标准应用程序替换为名为 MapRecorder 的封装版本。在两项研究中,我们使用我们的应用程序记录了当地人和游客的数据,并从 34 位用户那里收集了超过 580 分钟的实际应用程序使用情况,跨越了 555 个不同的会话。我们确定典型的使用场景,
