First Map Widgets Rolled Out

Whether you’re managing a large-scale event like the Kansas State Fair or a local festival, Grandstand's map widgets are here to level up the way you interact with your visitors. Let’s take a quick look at the cool features that come with this new tool:

No Additional Data Entry

Grandstand's Map Widgets take the location data already being used for your app and gives it another use. Using the Grandstand Admin if you add a category, a location or upload a new map graphic it will all be automatically applied to your map web widget at the same time it updates in your native mobile app.

Easy Website Embed

Similar to our schedule and list web widgets, Grandstand provides you with easy code to embed on your own website. Even more importantly, you determine the size and shape of your map widget.

Custom Pins

No more generic, one-size-fits-all markers! Just like our apps, your web widget can use your your own uploaded pin graphics, making it easy to categorize and differentiate locations on your map. From food vendors to parking spots, everything can have its own unique look.

Info Popups

Clicking on a pin isn’t just for zooming in anymore. Now, each pin comes with its own information popup. Users can see details about the location, get Google directions, and even click through to websites or more content. Want to promote a special lemonade stand? You’ve got it covered!

Multiple Map Types

Not everyone loves raw Google Maps (though we do offer that as an option). With Grandstand’s Map Web Widgets, you can choose between different map types, including overlays or simple graphical versions. Whatever fits your event’s vibe.

Search

Finding a specific booth or vendor? Easy. Our built-in search lets users explore both the titles and descriptions of locations, so they can quickly get where they want to go.

Slideout Filters

With so many things happening at events, you need a way to simplify. Grandstand’s widget offers slideout filters that let users sort by category, like food, rides, or attractions. Less scrolling, more enjoying.

Map Web Widgets by Grandstand is here to take your event’s digital experience to the next level. It’s never been easier to help visitors navigate, find what they’re looking for, and enjoy the best of your event.

Many web widget packages will include the new map web widget at no extra cost. Others will require an additional fee to unlock this new feature. Because of fees associated with Google Maps usage, all packages contain a usage cap, but we will never shut you off and will always notify you before incurring additional costs. You will also have full transparency to your web map widget usage.

In addition, packages are available for non-app partners for the first time ever allowing them access to our easy-to-use admin to setup a powerful web widget.

This tool is designed for maximum flexibility, ensuring your event map is as engaging and functional as possible.
