N2 - This study investigates whether gender differences have an impact on the definition of good interface design and whether manufacturers should develop interfaces that fit small-display portable car navigation systems (CNSs) based on gender. This work adopted an experimental design for collecting data from three tasks-locating points, planning routes, and searching polygons each emphasizing a different aspect of way-finding. Study results show that gender, the CNS interface the participant used, and a combination of the two predict a person's operational performance and satisfaction with a CNS. This study's results provide a better understanding of whether manufacturers should develop interfaces that fit a CNS's small display based on gender.
