APPLE MAPS FOR APP Heuristic Evaluation By Rayed Alakhtar

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Introduction Apple maps is Driving User Interface that can drive you from location to other by sitting up distention A and B. This app is similar to my app that i am designing. I am designing UI for driving to the Haunted History Locations. So i will evaluate Apple maps using the 10 heuristic evaluations suggested by Jacob Nielsen in 1993.

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Heuristics Evaluated based on: 1.Visibility of system status 2.Match between system and the real world 3.User control and freedom 4.Consistency and standards 5.Error prevention 6.Recognition rather than recall 7.Flexibility and efficiency of use 8.Aesthetic and minimalist design 9.Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors 10.Help and documentation

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Visibility of system status The map keep updating with the directions to reach my destination

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Match between system and the real world The apps speaks the users language. when the user set up his distance, the app speaks and tell him where to go with the language that users can understand

APPLE MAPS FOR APP User control and freedom The (End) function on the up left corner is end button to end the rout. this is so easy for the driver to end his rout and not to look around for emergency exit while he is driving

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Consistency and standards There is deferent between apple Maps and goole Maps in the way of designing (e.g. the end button is shown in the upper left corner. in other hand, the end button in google maps is shown in down left corner. So there are different in designing

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Error prevention

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Recognition rather than recall when i searched for McDonalds, simply i just wrote the first two characters and he recognize that i am looking for McDonalds

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Flexibility and efficiency of use In blue: the time to arrive and the distance. in purple: the distance to arrive (duplicated). In green: where is your distance (text). In red: where is your distance (image). In gray: what time you are going to arrive.

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Aesthetic and minimalist design Every thing in this picture is relevant to the software

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Help and documentation there is not specific button for help. but there is button to report a problem. ???

APPLE MAPS FOR APP Conclusion 1. Visibility of system status 5/5 2.Match between system and the real world 5/5 3.User control and freedom 4/5 4.Consistency and standards 3/5 5.Error prevention TBA/5 6.Recognition rather than recall 5/5 7.Flexibility and efficiency of use 4/5 8.Aesthetic and minimalist design 4/5 9.Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors TBA/5 10.Help and documentation 2/5
