Browser-based tools such as ExpoFP and Mapboot, and Pointr Express, open from a link or QR code with no download.

For many events, QR-code \"you are here\" signs and kiosks give most of the benefit at far lower cost.",{"question":281,"answer":282},"What happens if the venue Wi-Fi goes down?","That depends on the tool.

Venue-mapping platforms usually sell annual licenses, which suit venues better than one-off events.",{"heading":290,"items":291},"Related pages",[292,293,294,295,296,297,298,299],"[Compare event map and floor plan tools](compare)","[ExpoFP alternatives](expofp-alternatives)","[Pricing](pricing)","[Conference navigation map](conference-navigation-map)","[Convention center floor plans](convention-center-floor-plans)","[Best indoor wayfinding software](best-indoor-wayfinding-software)","[Best interactive event map software](best-interactive-event-map-software)","[Best trade show floor plan software](best-trade-show-floor-plan-software)","Information on this page is based on publicly available product materials as of {lastVerified} and may change.
