  • Map displaying landmarks that the user can include & list of tours that include those landmarks (clicking would go to map)
  • Map view with current location and a route to follow (like an iPhone)
  • Drag your finger in between landmarks on a map

Storyboard #2 (Aric)

  • Map displaying landmarks that a user can include, auto-generate tour based on that
  • Shows you the next step and then landmarks that are nearby/related/on the way
  • Adding locations to a database, don’t specify tour route

Analysis:

  • Learnability
    • Unique icons for each type of location may not be implicit.
    • Finding detailed info by clicking on icons shown on map may not be obvious.
    • Ambiguity on "type" of location (Is a bar recreation or restaurant?).
    • Map areas behave as expected (no additional learning if already familiar).
    • Icons are used consistently throughout the tour process to solidify/clarify their purpose.
  • Efficiency
    • User cannot see selected locations while choosing additional ones.
    • User cannot get an estimate on time/distance until all locations have been chosen.
    • Several different screens to navigate to add a location (home page -> map page -> location page).
    • Using map in substitute of address input saves time (starting spot, new location)
    • Hard to add a specific place if it isn't on the map (have to go to the "advanced search" page).
    • Finding a "subtype" of a more general "type" can be inefficient since each location has to be looked at individually (for instance, finding an authentic Italian restaurant among a wide variety of other restaurants). 
  • Safety
    • Requires several deliberate button presses to add an event (good for error prevention)
    • Easy to remove unwanted locations
    • Directions to locations are not very detailed (just show the map, leaving potential for user to get lost).

Storyboard #3 (Ryan)

  • Map displaying possible tour routes & filter using a list of landmarks with checkboxes
  • Show you a picture of the next landmark with description, direction (like a compass)
  • Modifying a tour by making changes while following
