GPS – Global Positioning systems are an example of information/instructional design, as they present a large amount of complex information to the user in a way that is simple and easily understood. The GPS has the ability to translate a complex map into step-by-step instructions with images to make the users journey much easier. A GPS not only informs the user where to turn but also how long the distance is before their next move, where speed cameras are located, and what lane they should be in to make the next turn easier.
Whereis.com – This site provides the user with step by step instructions on how to achieve their desired outcome. For example, the user may want to go from point A to point B, they are prompted to enter the origin and destination details into the site. The user then has the ability to customise their trip, for example, they can choose whether to use or not to use toll roads and they can choose a route that goes either by fastest distance or shortest route. The user is then provided with step-by-step instructions on how to reach their destination, with the end route, tailored to their needs.
