ABSTRACT
Think about it: When using your smartphone, tablet, or computer, what normally catches your attention first? Following animations, it is probably one of the following: sounds and vibrations. Sound might include a beep, ring tone, or tune that plays when new information arrives on your phone. Vibration may occur when you select an incorrect option in an app. Sound and vibration are two attention grabbers that can also be used in mobile Web map design. In this chapter, we review a few of these less-talked-about nonvisual map components that can help facilitate Web map communication.
