地图是儿童学习地理知识的必要工具。数字化工具在儿童教育中发挥着越来越重要的作用。本文基于多感官通道交互：视觉、听觉、触觉和嗅觉，提出了一个新颖的地图PuzMap，可以为儿童提供丰富的学习体验。PuzMap包含了陆地分布知识和海洋洋流的运动规律知识。拼图完成后，儿童可以扫描模块上的AR标记图案，该区域的典型动物介绍会被显示。本文详细介绍了PuzMap的系统设计，测试了它的可用性，并提出了儿童地图的设计原则。

Geography is a broad subject, and maps are essential tools for learning geography. It is necessary to educate children about geography and maps at an early age. Digital educational tools play an increasingly important role in children's education. However, few studies focus on digital map design for children conforming to their cognitive abilities. Inspired by that, we propose PuzMap, a novel puzzle map, which facilitated with various sensory channels, visual, auditory, tactual, and olfactory. It can create specific experiences when it is manipulated. PuzMap delivers knowledge of geographical distribution to children. It also introduces the concept of ocean current and its movement principle through the multi-sensory approach, which is rarely mentioned before. When finishing the puzzle map, children can scan the pattern on each distribution module to enjoy the AR patterns about this area. In this paper, we detail the system design of PuzMap and present the design principles of children map. We also conducted studies to explore our system's usability. The results showed that PuzMap could help children learn geography knowledge, and it is engaged for children to play.
