Lost in the big city: study Nokia
In London, it is impossible not to lose. According to a recent study conducted by Nokia - the largest supplier of devices that support map data, the capital of Britain lost more people than any other city in the world. And so, even compared to Bangkok and Beijing, which are almost twice as much in London.
These results were obtained in the course of study, one of the largest of navigation. As part of its holding polled 12 500 people from 13 countries around the world who talked about their abilities orientation in space and habits in the use of navigation. Also, the study showed that one in ten people (10 percent) thought it impossible to navigate in London. In the capital of Britain should PARIS (9 percent), Bangkok (5 percent), Hong Kong (5 percent) and Beijing (4 percent). These major administrative centers and one of five cities in the world in which most easily lost. Moreover, lost in London, be careful, asking the way the local population - one third Londoner acknowledged that deliberately pointed the wrong direction.
The results of research in Russia surprised no less. And while the Russians claimed they are well oriented in space - 74 percent of those surveyed recognized that the path they still lost the case. Nearly half of all inhabitants of Russia accuses of failing to navigate in space rush, as well as partners, seated in the back seat of the car.
More than 25 percent of those surveyed in the choice of direction to rely on tools online and mobile navigation. To be precise, 13 percent use mobile phones as a primary navigation tool, but that a few years ago, the number of users in this way navigation was zero. It is best to focus the Germans: a third of them claim that has never lost. This is not surprising, since Germany - a country with the highest percentage of the population relying on satellite navigation.
Every tenth woman recognizes that it is not in a position to decide on a traditional card, the number is twice that of men with the same problem. These data suggest that the decline of traditional maps and a compass with each passing day becoming closer. And last but not least because the ability to read maps in the world is generally very low.
