Hello, I am new to thunkable and arrived here looking for a fast/simpler way to develop a mobile app for a trade fair.However the most complicated part of the project is finding a way to create waze like functionality so the visitor can find the location of certain exhibitor, so I was wondering if someone here has done this before. ---

“Waze like functionality” makes me think you want to include driving directions and social features. Or are you just wanting to display locations on a map? ---
