Read the following article and choose the letter (A, B, C or D) to indicate the correct answer
to each of the following questions.
Wayfinding Technology
Phones are replacing maps as the best way to get directions from one place to another. You
can type or even speak into your phone and immediately find your way. But even with these
directions, it sometimes takes time to decide which way to go. This is especially true if you don’t
already know which street you are on.
A new technology uses augmented reality (AR) to give directions through your phone’s
camera. When you hold up your phone, direction signs and street names pop up on the screen.
Now, you know immediately if you need to turn right or left. It can also help you to remember
where you parked your car.
There are many apps to help you find your way. But some can do much more than that. For
example, on the Waze app, people share information such as traffic, accidents, and road
construction. If the traffic is bad, the app can offer different routes to help save time.
Some apps can make your trip more enjoyable. For example, an app called Geotourist offers
audio guides to tell you about interesting places around you. You can also create your own tour
and share your photos.
Wayfinding technology is making it easier for us to get directions. Maybe you could
download an app this weekend and compare it to a paper map: which one do you think is better?
