本文提出了一個利用目標物立體模型去引導使用者快速設定目的地的系統，使用圖像取代文字的操作方式，將立體地圖以新的概念呈現。該系統利用Google、Flickr和Youtube的搜尋數及與捷運站的距離計算出目標物關注度，以目標物的關注度及螢幕上的分布挑出數個具有代表性的目標物，將其放大至利於辨識之大小，改善當立體地圖比例尺大時目標物過小難以辨識之缺點。此外，利用網路蒐集照片統計人們最常觀看目標物之角度，讓使用者在觀看地圖中的目標物模型時，能夠以熟悉的角度辨識出目標物，增進使用體驗。除了階層式目標物搜尋模式之外，本系統也設計了街道層級的目標物瀏覽模式，使用者可藉由瀏覽街道目標物，精確地定位到感興趣的地點，完成目的地的設定。本系統以手勢辨識取代虛擬鍵盤操作，讓使用者駕駛時，能夠利用簡單的手勢操作本系統。最後，我們進行了一系列的使用者研究，證明本系統改善了立體地圖的使用體驗，並且降低了操作導航系統對駕駛行為所產生的負面影響。

Traditional destination searching methods in global positioning systems (GPS)require the user to either remember all or partial address, location, name, or phone number of a destination through the touch panel or voice control. The searching methods are not intuitive and safe when driving. This study aims at enhancing the destination look-up experience based on the fact that humans can easily recognize and remember images and icons of a location instead of texts. A user searches a destination by first navigating through a map with a set of sorted and oriented icons for the destined street block and selecting the destination from a street-level slider. To avoid being drowned with too many 3D models, the destination icons are arranged hierarchically according to its consensus and transportation importance and spacial relationship among each other. Consensus importance considers the times of being queried and captured as videos and pictures and posted on several public web sites and transportation importance takes the distance to the metro transportation into consideration. Additionally, an icon is oriented for easy recognition according to the public preference estimated by clustering the views of photos collected from public web sites. The street-level slider displays the destination characteristics along a street for fine choice of the destination. The concept has been applied to two cities: Taipei and London to illustrate its effectiveness and several surveys are conducted to verify our choices during the system design procedure and a user study with a driving simulator verifies that our system can be more easily used to search for a destination.
