The term 'structural salience' refers to the characteristics of landmarks that are immediately related to navigation. One of the central aspects of this kind of salience is where a landmark is located at an intersection. Klippel and Winter (2005) developed a mathematical measure that describes the ideal position of a landmark at an intersection. In the first experiment (on-line study) we examined the four different landmark positions from a bird's-eye perspective and in the second experiment (virtual environment) from an egocentric perspective. We compare our results with Klippel and Winter's model and provide some evidence to support their assumptions empirically.
