Survey before the test Do you have any ideas for improvement? GPS live positioning Don‘t use English terms (help page, explanations). It should be easier to place points. The buttons should be more remarkable. Show the help as an introduction Participatory App16

Survey after the test Did you like the test? Participatory App17 male female yes, is was very good yes, it was good no, it was bad no, it was very bad One answer is missing.

Observations Difficulties: The button „Find me“ wasn‘t found intuitively. The functionality „Change position“ wasn‘t intuitive. Some users wanted to use „Drag & Drop“ to change the position of the marker. Difficulties to distinguish between the current position (marker) and the mapped points (server). The buttons weren‘t remarkable enough. It isn‘t intuitive to click on the marker to map a point. They had difficulties to read the old version of the help page (confusing, sometimes English terms, bad phrasing) Participatory App18

Ideas for improvements Center the new placed point. Introduction help (e.g. video) The buttons should be more visible. The popup window should automatically open after finding or changing the position. Add a button „Map point“. Offer more types. Use the GPS signal to get a more precise position. Update the GPS position automatically. Use only one language in the help. Use „Drag & Drop“ to change the position Participatory App19
