What is Wayfinding Technology? And How Beneficial Are Interactive Wayfinding Solutions for Enterprises?
When Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer from the late-middle ages, used his cartographic skills to outline a map of the American continent in order to differentiate it from Asia’s eastern boundaries, many explorers suspected his navigational abilities as the sketch did not comply with Columbus’ conjecture. However, his discovery was soon acknowledged and his navigational abilities were lauded across the European continent for introducing them to the map of the ‘New World’. Vespucci’s work gained so much popularity that an entire continent was named after him! In today’s world, satellite-based navigation using ‘smart’ devices has taken over traditional practices involving
