Can I use Captivate to create an interactive navigable map?
Hello, our annual conference next fall will be on a 300-acre resort and I would like to help people find their way around. I’d like to build into our conference app an interactive map with about a dozen points of interest. When a person touches one of them, it might bring up a photo and description, but above all, it should show where they are in relation to the place and help them make their way there. I would want this to run inside of our own app, so it would need to be run as a JSON service, javaScript, or HTML5.
I suspect that this might be a good job for Captivate and perhaps I might even hire a specialist here to help me create it. Am I on the right track here…?

You can use a javascript library d3.js one of the best.
There is a learning curve, but if you know javascript and html you can do it.
I created a couples of module using d3.js for the shipping industry.
If you need additional help, let me know.
You certainly could do this using Captivate but I’d be more inclined to do it in straight html/js or even something like Adobe Animate (which provides cleaner/lighter output). Regardless of the dev tool it’ll still be deployed as html/js but if you want clean code and maintainability by any web dev in the future then you’ll want to avoid Captivate for this.
