Summary :

Today, pedestrian navigation systems for mobile phones use 2-dimensional maps as a navigation media in general. But 3-dimensional maps or scenery images are easier to understand for users than 2-dimensional maps. To use 3-dimensional maps or scenery guidance, the measuring accuracy of user position is essential to understand guidance images. In this paper, we will present a pedestrian navigation system using real scenery photographs as a navigation media, and based on experiments we will report the evaluation result of influence of positioning accuracy on the understandability of navigation. It is shown that 3 meters or less error of positioning is tolerable for pedestrian navigation systems using scenery images.
