Research examines how mobile maps influence visual attention, spatial learning, and cognitive load during navigation tasks. Key themes include landmark visualization, attention guidance, and navigation interface effectiveness.

Scientific contributions include 15 recent publications analyzing mobile map design's impact on spatial knowledge acquisition, landmark memory, and route cognition through experimental studies and VR simulations.
