Abstract

Despite of the inherent technical and ergonomic disadvantages certain need for an acoustic coding of thematic data in maps can be recognized for specific applications and users. This contribution focuses on the commonly neglected aspect of representing quantitative data. In an analytic review which mainly considers physiological and cognitive, but also implementation aspects, we will identify suitable sound variables—for representing both, data for a single point of time and time series. Based on this review the demand for future studies on sound map usability will be outlined.
