PathQuest is a self-service information kiosk solution for helping visitors find their way inside any medium-to-large establishment such as airports, shopping malls, hotels, bus terminals, railway stations, hospitals, college campuses, and exhibitions. Using a map of the facility, PathQuest identifies the location of visitor on the map and plots the route to other sites on the facility. It can also identify landmarks and display related commercial information.
PathQuest has integrated modules for providing other useful information, displaying advertisements and obtaining feedback.
PathQuest has been installed in the international airport at Hyderabad. PathQuest equips HIAL by providing information about the airport, flights and the city, and also obtains direct feedback from passengers and other visitors.

PathQuest kiosks are connected to and managed from a centrally placed computer. On this computer, the PathQuest Administrator Console is installed.
The Administrator Console allows the facility administrator or his personnel to manage the PathQuest kiosks.
This application has several modules, namely, Way-Finder Module, Information Module, Advertisement Module, Feedback Module, and Report Generator.
These modules allow the administrator to configure, monitor and maintain the kiosks.
Some of the special features of the PathQuest are:
If you change the location of the kiosk or its orientation, you do not have to modify the maps to reflect the change.
The facility administrator can simply specify the new location and orientation in the Admininistration Console and kiosk users will see maps that are automatically adjusted to the new setting.
The information displayed by the kiosk can be provided in an unlimited number of languages.
The Administration Console has a wizard that allows the facility administrator to enter text for a particular language. Once completed, users will be able to interact with kiosk using the new language option.
All PathQuest kiosks are managed from a central location. Once installed and connected to a central computer (that runs the Administrator Console), the kiosks require no further configuration.
Kiosks can be switched on, configured, restarted, and switched off from the Administration Console.
The Administration Console allows the administrator to configure the touchscreen menus in the kiosks. The Administration Console has a simple and clean advertisement engine that can display advertisements on the kiosks. It also generates usage reports to aid appraisal and decision-making.
