The intent of the study is to understand the mental model people have of a city. Understanding this mental model will provide insight into developing mapping applications that present location information in a way that makes it easier to conceptualize and situate new location information in terms of places a person already knows. An analysis of hand-annotated maps showing the locations of prominent places in a person's mental map of Boston suggests that prominent places can be characterized by a certain set of properties and that major transit points (subway stops) play an important role in framing a person's mental map. %@ 1-59593-481-2
