Recently, the various navigation systems spread in many aspects of our daily life. It becomes necessary for the user to choose the one which is suitable for oneself from among these systems. However, it is difficult that users understand all these systems, because ability which understands map and guidance disagree by each user. Besides, there will be the user who cannot understand it even if a system more easily informed guidance for a user. We think that a uniform guidance is a problem for some people, because the ability to understand a map is different by a user. Therefore, it is necessary for us to investigate ability to understand guidance, that is, human map-reading ability. Moreover, we consider that it is important that a system analyzes the ability of user and shows weak points of user. In this paper, we developed a system to simulate whether we seem to do way-finding in real space, and first of all we performed outdoor experiments about pedestrian way-finding for measuring by the system. Next, we proposed three major indicators from pedestrian behaviors, and finally measured human map-reading ability in our system. Consequently, we think that will open up a new vista of the future for personal guidance services by our approach.
