Our New Mapping System Will Blow You Away

Our New Mapping System Will Blow You Away

Guru’s Blue-Dot Navigation Makes Navigating Your Space a Breeze

It happens every day: a visitor stands in front of a map, still unsure how to get where they need to go. Guru’s new blue-dot navigation is built for exactly that moment. Visitors follow a pathway and see themselves moving along that path in real time. They can also toggle between floors and buildings, explore by gallery or area, and access content directly from the map. The best part? It’s standard in our apps. No upgrades required.

These are exactly the kinds of challenges our museum solutions are designed to solve - bridging visitor experience goals with practical, manageable technology.
