The experiments implemented in this research demonstrate that people who navigate an urban environment using GPS have poorer landmark knowledge than those who do not use GPS. Furthermore, discriminant analysis reveals certain attributes of urban land... Read More about Data and GPS systems: comparing navigation and landmark knowledge between GPS users and non-GPS users.
