                          Recent controversies surrounding mobile maps
                          have highlighted the importance of cartography
                          to human-computer interaction (HCI) and
                          information visualization on mobile devices.
                          However, despite the prominent role of “map
                          apps”, they have not yet been robustly
                          examined with a lens informed by the decades
                          of relevant research in the field of
                          cartography. Moreover, principles and best
                          practices established cartography have largely
                          not been integrated with the work of “GeoHCI”
                          and Geo UX researchers and practitioners.
                          Drawing on the well-established literature of
                          academic cartography and research in mobile
                          HCI, you will then identify, and implement,
                          and evaluate potential solutions.</span></p>
