The eye tracking technology is used for this study in order to follow the position of the users’ eye-gaze. The results show that there are remarkable differences in task performance between WebMaps. Addition, they also differ in the use of iconic representations according to results of users’ evaluation. It is also found that efficiency of pop-up windows’ usage has an effect on task performance.
