Shopping Centre - Electronic Information Boards and Maps

So I rejected this but it was hard to choose a reason. Screen rotates. Multipurpose. Malls have many of them. Used by single organisation so not community boards etc etc etc

Anyone have thoughts on this as I have seen a few now. Like to get this right

I am erring on the side of rejection as these can be repurposed at any point. Today an Interactive Map, tomorrow an Advertising Board.

“not permanent”?

I dunno. An interactive map seems as permanent as things get to me. But I agree that many electronic boards which sometimes show maps don’t quite seem to cut it.

I absolutely hate stuff like this that makes me think, and am grateful for all the skips.

I think there are varying options on maps/directional boards, and most are going to look to see if they meet the social, exercise, and/or explore criteria with them. At a mall, a map/directional board may help you find a new store or restaurant to check out, which meets the explore criteria to me. Or maybe you’ve never been to said mall before, and you do need to find the food court to grab a bite to eat and maybe do some socializing with those you are with, take a little break from shopping.

Yes, malls have many of these, but there are in certain areas, such as entrances, court areas, or even the ends of different hallways. The mall where I live has several, and I could note in the title/description where they’re located, such as “Mall Map - East Wing,” “Mall Map - Best Buy Wing,” or “Mall Map - Food Court Entrance.” This one could have used a better title/description noting where it’s located, just to distinguish it from the others in the mall.

There was a previous discussion in regards to maps, and while the map here was at an industrial site, there were different opinions, even if the map is at a safe and accessible location:

I’d mark it as not Distinct. It’s probably mass produced.
Nobody meets up at the map - because it’s indistinct.
It’s just a means for finding where you’re actually going - like a street sign.

Lol. But… it’s on the map. It’s findable. And you pretty much have to find a map in order to find any other location anyway.

Where do you meet the rest of your party in a mall after you’ve split up? Bathrooms? :grin:
