Updating the SFO Museum Wayfinding Service - Interface changes, WebShare and Nearby

Since the last blog post about adding custom publications for wayfinding routes we’ve made the following changes and improvements: Lists and thumbnail views for route steps, galleries and public art works along a route and objects from the SFO Museum Aviation Collection related to a flights; When supported by the browser the Web Share API has been enabled for linking to (and sharing) individual routes; The new “nearby” feature allows you to find galleries, public art works and other waypoints close to arbitrary points inside the SFO terminal complex.

We’ve made some additional tools to complement this reality and waded through some of the muck of modern software development so you don’t have to.
