Map D and Mapboot offer map-based checkout or reservation.",{"question":298,"answer":299},"Do attendees need to download an app to use the map?","It depends on the tool. ExpoFP runs in the browser with no download or sign-in, so attendees can open it from a QR code or a link. Suites such as A2Z Events, eShow, Map D, and PheedLoop focus their full attendee experience on a mobile app, though most also offer some web viewing.",{"question":301,"answer":302},"Can I use a dedicated floor plan tool alongside my event management suite?","Yes, and many organizers do. You can keep registration, housing, or your app in your existing platform and use a floor plan tool like ExpoFP as the public map and booth sales layer. ExpoFP integrates with registration, ticketing, and CRM systems so exhibitor data flows both ways. Its JSON API lets you embed the map in websites and event apps.",{"heading":304,"items":305},"Related pages",[306,307,308,309,310,311,312,313],"[Compare ExpoFP with 50+ tools](compare)","[ExpoFP alternatives](expofp-alternatives)","[ExpoFP pricing](pricing)","[Exhibition floor plan software](exhibition-floor-plan-software)","[Convention center floor plans](convention-center-floor-plans)","[Best booth sales software](best-booth-sales-software)","[Best interactive event map software](best-interactive-event-map-software)","[Best trade show management software](best-trade-show-management-software)","Information on this page is based on publicly available product materials as of {lastVerified} and may change.
