What happens when Wayfinding is not being used?

- At a minimum, digital wayfinding uses a display to present a map of the facility to visitors. To be truly useful, that display needs to be touch-enabled so that a visitor can intuitively interact with the map.
- A typical installation includes a touch-enabled screen enclosed in an attractive and secure kiosk. To get the most out of your investment, a wayfinding solution must be able to support doing something productive when wayfinding is not in use.
- An excellent option is digital signage. This will enable the ability to display income generating ads, important announcements and information, current news and weather and much more.
Look for a solution that is flexible enough to integrate with other applications such as digital signage.
Why is this thing not working?

You don't want wayfinding to be unavailable when a visitor needs help, so look for a solution that will continue to operate even if the Internet connection is unavailable.
It costs how much to make a change?
