Why not just preview and link to a google map?



I should have clarified...by maps I mean: stadium seating charts. We want to have stadium seating charts and directions so it will be a combination of both ideas.


I hope you guys can implement something a little more interactive, like what SeatQuest has, rather than just static jpg/gif of the stadium. SeatQuest has it decently there, but I bet you guys can do it better.


Seatquest is so slow and having tiny dots on a screen, in our mind and most of our testers mind doesn't add too much value. Everything they have is pretty much educated guess work (i.e. the accuracy of the dots is not very high).

The holy grail of seating maps (and what our users have requested many times) is what Stubhub has (interactive, sortable, clickable). This is just really really difficult to implement when we have listings from multiple providers who all call things slightly different names.

We'll get there though.
