Hanchard, M. orcid.org/0000-0003-2460-8638 (2022) Have digital maps altered our experience of urban surroundings? URBANET.
Abstract
For almost twenty years, digital maps (web service applications like Bing Maps, Google Maps, and OSM) have shaped everyday life for people across the world. Uber drivers use them to navigate the maze of streets in central London. People locate homes to rent or buy in Berlin, using embedded digital maps on property search sites like ImmoScout24. Meanwhile, millions of tourists use digital maps every year to locate, book, and travel between restaurants, points of interest, and hotels across Paris and elsewhere.
