Dear Fellow Listers:

 

We are looking for an interactive computer program that includes a world map
that will work on a touch screen.  When the patron touches the country they
are from there will be another level of specificity.  In the case of the US
that specificity would extend to the states.  Once the most specific region
is displayed the patron clicks to use the keyboard to complete basic guest
book type information.  Name, where they're from, how many in party etc.
There is space to leave a short message.  The information entered is
searchable by museum staff and by future visitors.  For example, an Italian
visitor could see how many people from Italy have come, or members of a
group could leave messages for each other, such as "was here at 2:00 see you
in St. Louis at 7:00"  So far we cannot find an existing software that does
this.  Our lowest bid  to do a custom software was just under $10,000.
Thanks!
