چکیده
Current navigation systems provide clear guidance for moving from one place to another while taking little explicit account of traditional strategies for route planning. This study observed twelve older people working in pairs planning a route with the aim of extracting the benefits to older people for using their lifelong procedures. Conclusions include that personal requirements for routes are important. There is also a wide value in cognitive mapping capability beyond immediate navigation tasks. Finally previous personal experience, preferences, memories, geographical and historical knowledge and interest improves the routeplanning itself which in turn supports internal cognitive mapping facilities. This research highlights a need for systems to more naturally and easily reflect older users’ traditional ways of working. Navigation systems, fit older users, route-planning, cognitive mapping
