Abstract
North in the head: spatial reference frame and map orientation
Highlights
After our virtual reality experiments exploring spatial learning and navigation (Török et al 2018), in the present field experiment we tested the interaction of local and global reference frames, the sense of geographical North in a sample of young adults
Effective map use in the field is based on orientation in two spaces: in a physical or geographical space and in a representational, graphic space
Spatial reference frame is a key issue in cartography and geovisualization
Summary
After our virtual reality experiments exploring spatial learning and navigation (Török et al 2018), in the present field experiment we tested the interaction of local and global reference frames, the sense of geographical North in a sample of young adults. A Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics, ELTE Eötvös Loránd University Zsolt Győző Török – zoltorok@map.elte.hu Abstract: Effective map use in the field is based on orientation in two spaces: in a physical or geographical space and in a representational, graphic space.
