+Repository for the data and the analysis of the Kantar Health Infratest Survey conducted in December 2015. This was a self-report telephone survey of a cross-sectional sample of the German population. The original sample was N = 1003, of those 783 had a complete data set. Individuals were asked about their income, education, gender, age and where they lived. They were then given a modified version of the Wayfinding Scale (Lawton 1994), based on their preferred method of travel, as well as a few questions about whether they get lost in large multi-level buildings. Finally, persons were asked about the presence of vertigo and how well their sense of balance is.

+Using linear regression models, the influence on sociodemographics and balance on the use of the route or the orientation strategy was assessed in this population.
