Zusammenfassung

You-are-here maps are maps that are located in the places they represent and are used to know how such places are and to plan displacements through them. This set of maps includes plans for visiting museums and exhibitions, fire evacuation plans, distribution of shopping centers and tourist maps allocated in the streets of cities. As these maps are usually placed on panels or rigid frames that do not allow their rotation, it is necessary performing their rotation mentally. This task of mental rotation of a map is very similar to the rotation of mental images. From these investigations, one can conclude that the time required to mentally rotate a map or image, and decide the direction to move based on a you-are-here map, increases progressively with the degrees of rotation up to 180 degrees.
