Investigating Wayfinding under Inconsistent Information

• Route instructions used in wayfinding studies are usually taken to be perfect, but in real life we often receive erroneous or am- biguous instructions. The present study investigates wayfinding behavior under such inconsistent instructions in a virtual reality setting. We find that women are more accurate than men, and that wayfinders seem to be more affected by incorrect landmark information than incorrect turn information.
