Frankfurt Airport Wayfinding App

Frankfurt Airport launched an interactive guide app for users to navigate inside the airport. Since August, more than 50,000 iPhone users have downloaded it, and 3,000 passengers use it on a daily basis. The app also features shops info, restaurants, and airport services. There is also a feature that recommends where to park your car. There is no real-time location service inside the app. That is, users have to manually figure out where they are and follow the "signage" inside the app. Can smartphone apps replace permanent airport signage
