Abstract

The usability evaluation is an important element of human computer interaction. The usability which translates to ease of use is the feature that all user interfaces should have. The geospatial interfaces should then follow the basic rules of usability. In this paper, we conducted a series of usability tests for some geospatial interfaces. These interfaces were designed for local users, for example INEGI or Guía Roji in the Mexican context. The results reveal the lack of usability guidelines user testing to be performed in the cases for this type of interfaces.
