It is an open question, whether differently developed orientation skills require alternate pedestrian navigation interface designs for optimal self-localization during wayfinding. To address this issueweconducted two user studies in order to analyze different presentations of mobile maps. Evaluations were conducted in an outdoor (N = 112) and indoor (N = 64) environment. We recorded the time it took participants to localize themselves with the help of salient objects. Significant results were found for both studies. Abstract interfaces support well-oriented users, whereas worse oriented ones profited from standard designs. Consequently, we make the case for user-adaptive pedestrian navigation interfaces.
