Interactive Maps & Wayfinding for Fairgrounds
Your fair’s own branded map, in every visitor’s pocket, no app required.
How It Works
Visitors scan a QR code at the gate, on signage, or from your website. They instantly get your fair’s interactive map, branded with your name, colors, and identity. No app store, no download, no account creation.
The map loads as a progressive web app (PWA) that works directly in the browser and continues functioning even with poor cell signal. It is built specifically for crowded fairgrounds where connectivity is unreliable.
What Visitors Can Do
- Find vendors by what they sell, not just where they are
- Browse collections like “New Foods” or “Kid-Friendly Rides” curated by the fair
- Navigate the grounds with walking directions from where they’re standing to any spot
- Check the schedule and see where each event is
- Locate amenities: restrooms, ATMs, first aid, parking
- Explore sponsors and learn about their presence at the fair
Built for Outdoor Events
Unlike indoor venue mapping tools that rely on beacons, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth infrastructure, Yubigo is designed for open-air fairgrounds. The map covers the full venue (buildings, midways, parking areas, livestock areas, exhibit halls) with no hardware to install.
The platform works offline-first. Once loaded, it continues functioning without a network connection. When connectivity returns, it syncs automatically.
Your Fair’s Brand, Not Ours
The experience is white-labeled: visitors see your fair’s name, logo, and colors up front. The map, the schedule, the vendor directory: everything carries your identity. Yubigo powers the technology; your fair owns the experience.
Reducing Staff Load
When fairgoers can find what they need from their phone, fewer questions land at information booths. When something changes on the grounds, update it in the Portal and republish. Visitors get it the next time they open the app, or a prompt to refresh within minutes, with no reprint. For news people need right away, staff can send an announcement that shows up as a notification on visitors’ phones.
Replacing the Paper Map
Most fairs use the digital map to retire the yearly paper map and brochure, or shrink it to a small print run with the QR code on it. See replacing paper fair maps, and how the map fits into the full county fair app.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do fairgoers find their way around the fairgrounds?
They scan a QR code, search for what they want (a food stand, a barn, the grandstand, a restroom) and get walking directions from where they are. No app download and no account.
Who builds the fairgrounds map?
We build it with you from your existing layout: buildings, barns, arenas, stages, gates, parking, amenities and every vendor placement. Your team reviews it before it goes live and can update locations afterwards.
Can we update the map during the fair?
Yes. Move or add a location in the Portal and republish. Visitors get the update the next time they open the app, and anyone using it is prompted to refresh within minutes. Paper maps stay wrong until the next print run.
Does the map work without cell service?
Yes. Once loaded, the map, search and walking directions keep working on crowded grounds where coverage is weak, and refresh when signal returns.
