Abstract | This article presents the results of research on how ten-year-old children in an unfamiliar environment perceive the surroundings of the route during their wayfinding when they focus on the task of successfully orienting themselves with two different sources of cartographic support: a mobile navigator and a paper map. The results show that the children are relatively imprecise with the verbal description of the route, whereas when it comes to perceiving the environment on the basis of recognizing visual features (in photographs), they score better results when using a paper map rather than a mobile navigator. (As Provided). |
