seamless on-street and digital wayfinding

Cork is a major Irish city and key tourist destination. fwdesign have created an on brand, bespoke Master Mapping Engine to provide versatile placemaking and wayfinding services. Map detailing highlights key attractions and promotes ‘hidden gems’ with interactive functionality linking to richer digital content. Master Map structuring and functionality generates map applications across website, mobile phone, wayfinding signage and print.

​

Given the huge reach of the proposed system, we developed the city master map for on-street and digital online use with a complementary locator map to show a greater context in the relationship with River Lee.

​

fwdesign specialise in the creation of bespoke digital wayfinding/placemaking information services developed around powerful interactive mapping resources. The resulting Digital Engine delivers a versatile and powerful portal providing speedy user-friendly engagement to networked digital destination maps. These digital services are easily accessed from home computers (anywhere in the world), on-the-street at smart hub points and on-the-move via personal mobile phones.

​

The latest digital developments now support live streaming of map data direct to mobile phone and when combined with the phones built in GPS functionality provides a powerful personal navigation device.
