User Testing Aviatlas



Eva just finished up our first round of user testing at Aviatlas and as always it has opened our eyes and brought smiles to our faces! Thanks much to those willing soles that subjected themselves to Eva's eagle eyes! note to self: Never argue the benefits of user testing!


What did we learn? That it was a bad idea in the first place to bring in dueling searches for hotspots. Ofcourse users are going to jump right to our 'find' box to find a hotspot. Somehow we managed to ignore that for the entire development process. I'm curious how other map based navigation sites deal with using and find to navigate the map while still having an overall search available for the site? Well that is one of many subjects to be addressed! Our solution is posted above... we'll have to test it out to see...
