But their constrained displays are too small to reproduce conventional electronic maps without an increasing effort for the user: he has to zoom in and out, and to scroll the map to understand the details and global relationships of a particular route. This fragmentation of the information is not just inconvenient, but affects the cognitive processing of the given information and finally lowers the effectiveness of assistance. One approach to attack this problem is to tailor maps to the individual previous knowledge of a user. If an assistance system knows what places and paths a user knows, it can generate maps according to this information: those parts of a route, which the user has good knowledge on, can be displayed with less details and parts with no or little knowledge can be emphasized. However, the personalization of maps with respect to previous knowledge is a new field and requires some basic considerations about map generation. In this work we show what has to be considered and demonstrate first prototypes of personalized maps for mobile wayfinding assistance.
