  Wayfinder JavaScript API

Overview

For developers, and operators using the maps, directory and data services within their own apps and/or websites, our wayfinder API provides an easy-to implement service with just a few lines of code.

Acquire's wayfinding technology is available for Kiosk, Mobile, Web and app. Although the solutions are provided as a compelete, ready to go service, we also provide the data, maps and wayfinding through our API service to clients who want to develop their own solutions or customise our ready to go solutions.

The easiest method to do this is by using our web API within your website, mobile or App solution as it is provided as a simple Javascript package and can simple be dropped into your website or app with just one or two lines of code.

This provides you with the 3D or 2D map, destination data or any other data within just a few lines of Javascript. The plugin provides you out-of-the-box with mouse and touch gestures enabling your clients to operate and navigate the maps, whilst using the latest data and optimised map that you publish from the online CMS.

We also provide a variety of functions you can also use to personalise the experience, including simple tasks like skinning and colourisation of the map elements, or more advanced features like complete methods to allow you to build your own look and feel, and just use the naked map with your own controls.

Whichever maps style and method you choose, our efficient and optimised maps are rendered using WebGL, the most compatible technology for yo uto deliver on the widest range of devices.

To get you started, we have included a 'Hello World' style example you can use with your own maps once you get the API key - you can then get it working on a hidden (staging) area of your website until you get the hang of it.
