QR Codes for Smartphones
In March of 2011, Texmaps began adding two-dimensional barcodes (also known as QR codes) to selected map products. These barcodes allow smart phone users to open web pages with additional information about a specific location on the map.
Just install the barcode reader for your Iphone, Blackberry, Android or other smartphone and point the phone's camera at the barcode to open the selected website.
The 2011 San Antonio Atlas was the first product to feature this new technology. More than 100 barcodes are included and provide information about a wide variety of different things, such as . . .
- Hours, tickets, etc for theaters, museums, theme parks
- Historical marker information
- Hours and facilities at public parks
- Fishing reports
- Links to Webcams
- Plus much more!
