Wayfinding helps to see where exhibitors, conference rooms, booths and restaurants are located on a plan and gives routing directions.

Choose an exhibitor, click Directions and select the nearest booth to you as a starting point to get results.

The distance is calculated using measurement units (m/ft) in the Designer , and the arrival time is calculated with the assumed average speed of 5 km/h.

Multi-level wayfinding

Wayfinding can connect multiple buildings and levels. On the first level, it leads to stairs or elevators, and when you switch to the next level, it shows the rest of the route to the destination.

Outdoor wayfinding

We can display additional locations on the area map and connect them with wayfinding. It can be used for open-air festivals, camping sites or outdoor markets.

Detect attendee location automatically

By default, attendees need to choose their starting point. However, if you use a floor plan on a kiosk, the kiosk will work as a default starting point.

You can also use GPS or an indoor positioning system (IPS) service, provided by one of our partners (Crowd Connected®, IndoorAtlas®). With the blue dot, attendees will see their current location anywhere in the exhibit hall, and you will get additional footfall analytics.

How to get wayfinding for your floor plan

Organizers can also purchase IPS locations for a fee via our partners Crowd Connect® or IndoorAtlas®. You can order it along with our interactive floor plan creation service, 3D view or separately.

Alternatively, you can enable GPS for free, although this does not work well indoors. To do this, go to Settings - Floor plan, check the box "Enable blue dot via GPS" and select "GPS Only."
