eng	Comparision of Usability Evaluation Methods Used for Analogue Maps Evaluation	The paper describes utilization of software engineering methods in cartography, namely utilization of usability engineering methods. Usability of analogue tourist maps of attractive areas of the Czech Republic was evaluated by means of selected methods. Maps published by the three most famous publishers in the Czech Republics, i. e. maps published by Kartografie Praha, a. s., SHOCart, spol. s r. o., and Klub českých turistů o. s., were evaluated during several previous studies carried out by the authors. Two methods were used for usability evaluation: Heuristic Evaluation and Usability User Testing. The proposed ways of eval-uation, evaluation itself and some of identified problems in usability are briefly described in the paper. Next, obtained experience coming from utilization of both methods is summarized. Strengths and weaknesses of both methods are described too. At the end, a possibility of utilization of fuzzy logic for the usability evalua-tion of analogue maps is described as a future work.	usability; evaluation of maps; tourist maps
