In-Depth Information
The second stage tests are expected to produce results related to differ-
ences between computer displays and paper maps, taking into account a
discussion of their advantages and disadvantages for decision-making
processes supported by spatial data visualization. Also, the introduction of
an animated map display, in order to provide data for map reasoning task
decisions, is expected to produce better results. This would be a starting
point for deeper research into the effectiveness of map animations on the
Internet, related to the most common map-making techniques and visual
variables.
