ShowMe Maps is a comprehensive mapping application which combines Google Maps™ and Google Street View™ technologies with ShowMe’s ability to capture and showcase detailed information about a particular location.
For Visitors
From a tourism / destination marketing perspective a digital destination map provides an opportunity to define and build your brand. To showcase and promote your unique points of differentiation and ideally give visitors a reason to stay longer.
For Local Residents
A digital map helps educate residents about what is available both in terms of local businesses and service providers as well as attractions and recreational opportunities. When combined with the promotion of local events it supports local engagement and community building. Expanding the knowledge of local residents also has the potential for creating community ambassadors.
A ShowMe Map should be considered a Digital Foundation because of how it can be further leveraged:
Visitors to an area (and sometimes local residents) are not always aware of what may be in close proximity to where they are. Signage featuring a URL or QR code linked to a map listing or group of listings can quickly open up those opportunities to stay longer or explore further. Digital cross-promotion!
Standard Features
The ShowMe application software is designed to be user friendly and does not require any advanced technical/computer skills. Fillable forms and upload fields are the norm with all help documentation accessible on each page. Map administrators are able to assign other map managers and editors as required on map, category, or specific location basis.
Premium Features
Many clients opt to have a custom domain name associate with their map for marketing and promotional purposes. Any domain name can be accommodated and configured for your map.
CMS Integration
This option essentially provides the opportunity to have complete website functionality in addition to a seamlessly integrated ShowMe map with map URLs matching the website domain.
