Designing visual cues and display conditions that effectively support visual search in such environments remains an important challenge for map interface design. This study examines how luminance contrast and highlighting influence visual search performance in multi-window map interfaces. A within-subject eye-tracking experiment was conducted using five highlighting conditions (No Highlighting as the control condition, Outer Border Highlighting, Text Highlighting, Title-Bar Highlighting, and Background Highlighting) and three luminance-contrast levels (low, medium, and high). Behavioral performance (accuracy and reaction time) and eye-movement measures (total viewing duration, fixation count, saccade count, and time to first fixation) were analyzed to evaluate how perceptual visibility and visual cue structures affect spatial information search. Results show that higher luminance contrast improved accuracy and reduced reaction time, although differences between medium and high contrast were small, suggesting that performance stabilized once a sufficient visibility threshold was reached. All highlighting conditions facilitated search relative to the control condition, with background and title-bar highlighting producing the most efficient gaze behavior and earlier target acquisition. A significant interaction between luminance contrast and highlighting was also observed, indicating that structured highlighting mitigates the performance costs associated with low contrast. Eye-movement evidence further indicates that region-based cues guide attention at the level of spatial interface regions rather than simply increasing local salience. These findings provide empirical guidance for improving spatial information retrieval efficiency in multi-window geospatial interfaces.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi15040180","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,21]],"date-time":"2026-04-21T16:10:44Z","timestamp":1776787844000},"page":"180","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Designing Effective Multi-Window Map Interfaces: The Role of Highlighting and Luminance Contrast in Visual Search"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8827-4816","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liyu","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-0981-0191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yunqi","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuanyi","family":"Kuang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingjing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4438-3093","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wa","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.18637\/jss.v067.i01","article-title":"Fitting linear mixed-effects models using lme4","volume":"67","author":"Bates","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
