Abstract The study examined the variable effects of using four navigation scenarios on driving and navigation performance by 60 test subjects, traversing a set of four common routes, using a highly instrumented test vehicle for gathering safety related data. The scenarios were (1) MNA with voice supplement, (2) MNA without voice supplement, (3) a paper map, and (4) a textual paper direction list. The preponderance of evidence suggests drivers drive equally as safe with the MNA as without it, when the MNA is used to navigate to unfamiliar destinations.
