This article describes research to identify map-using and map-generating tasks in crowdsourcing. As a result, we identified a set of tasks from some users’ tests designed as two experiments. In Experiment 1, we interviewed eight individuals (in person) and seventy-eight individuals—by an online survey—within Experiment 2. They have different backgrounds and map-reading skills. We selected a geoinformation crowdsourcing platform, OpenStreetMap, for applying the tests. As exploratory research, the results revealed an initial set of eighty-two map-using and map-generating tasks that individuals perform while interacting with OpenStreetMap. In general, the tests’ results allowed us to assess the changes triggered by the technological developments in map-use research. Consequently, we conclude that we should complement the traditional list of map-reading tasks in this new context, where individuals can simultaneously use and produce maps. This new possibility of using and generating geoinformation could bring some progress for designing map use tests and understanding the technological advances in Cartography.

本文介绍了在众包中识别地图使用和地图生成任务的研究。因此，我们从一些设计为两个实验的用户测试中确定了一组任务。在实验 1 中，我们通过在线调查采访了 8 个人（亲自）和 78 个人（在实验 2 中）。他们具有不同的背景和地图阅读技能。我们选择了地理信息众包平台 OpenStreetMap 来进行测试。作为探索性研究，结果揭示了一组初始的 82 项地图使用和地图生成任务，这些任务是个人在与 OpenStreetMap 交互时执行的。总的来说，测试结果使我们能够评估地图使用研究中技术发展引发的变化。最后，我们得出结论，我们应该在这种新环境中补充传统的地图阅读任务列表，个人可以同时使用和制作地图。这种使用和生成地理信息的新可能性可以为设计地图使用测试和理解制图技术进步带来一些进展。
