This paper sets out the results of a statistical analysis of a survey on a panel of 45 cartographic websites using the API of the French Géoportail. Existing design choices, such as favored base maps, transparency levels of the displayed layers, scale visualization, have been studied from mixed representations in use. They have also been faced to the aim of the related applications, the user’s tasks (data visualization and interaction) and their resulting uses in order to define general trends about mixed representations. http://www.citeulike.org/user/Charlotte_Hoarau/article/11333035
