Geografisk information på mobila webben

Sammanfattning

Web pages are visited through a variety of different devices with varying screensizes. One method for adapting web pages to this variety is called responsive design. Geographical information, often in the form of embedded maps, is common on the web. The combination of responsive design and geographical information has been shown to lead to interaction problems and is therefore assumed to need special considerations. This thesis examines this combination and investegates how presentation of geographical information can be adapted to responsive web design. Two versions of the same web page is built, a responsive base version and an adapted version designed to alleviate interaction problems with responsive maps. The two versions are comparatively evaluated to determine the successfulness of the adaptions. Thus, the study shows a solution for building and testing of a responsive web page with geographical data. The result is presented as recommendations for how a responsiv web page with geographical information can be designed.
