Tools are key to producing top-quality mobile content. Whatamap makes authoring mobile guides easier than ever before.

Whatamap map tools are the result of a thorough research and development combined to extensive experience gained from working with our customers. To illustrate the map creation process, we have made the tools available for anyone to try - whether you are just curious or already considering how you could use this technology in your own business.

Managing map content
The primary function of the online tools is managing content, including

• Map visuals, for example illustrated floor plans
• Branding, including full-screen sponsor logos
• Points of interest with text, audio, video, phone numbers, icons, ...
• Arbitrary shapes like areas, regions
• Categorization of content
• Automatic search indexing of content
• Advertising, like special offers or mobile coupons
• Integration to dynamic feeds, e.g. news or events

Managing publishing and distribution
In addition to managing the actual content, it is equally important to stay up to date with the publishing and distribution details. Whatamap will provide you with all necessary information about the publishing and distribution process.

Real-time simulation
Many times it is crucial for the map author to be able to see and try out changes quickly. This has led us to develop an online simulator using which you can try out what the map looks like in a smartphone even before you start any kind of publishing process.

Programmatic interfaces
If you have a map with a lot of content or content that updates every day, like a big shopping mall with hundreds of retailers or an trade show with a thousand exhibitors, updating them manually may become tedious over time.

For these cases we have created programmatic interfaces through which you can upload and update thousands of points automatically. In fact, you may even create new maps programmatically if need be.

This far, we have been integrated into advertising systems, shopping mall management databases, exhibition planning software and directory services. Please contact us for more details in using these interfaces.
