Working with San Francisco-based company LocusLabs, George Bush Intercontinental Airport and William P Hobby airports will become the first airports in the world to deploy the turn-by-turn wayfinding technology that doesn’t require downloading a separate app to a smart device.
Once in place, passengers can easily access the interactive map technology from any device or browser, whether the device is a mobile, a desktop or a tablet. The easy navigation tool provides transit path directions that will take the user from their originating point to their destination with the most direct and efficient path possible. Appropriately enough, LocusLabs has named this product Maps Online.
Both graphic and text directions are provided and each step of the path has turn-by-turn points listed, as well the estimated time it will take to walk to the destination. As important, it offers searchable navigation, with location information and search terms for points of interest, including gates, ground transportation, ticket kiosks, shops, restaurants and security checkpoints.
