Ha, yeah, sorry, I think I didn&#39;t phrase that well.  I guess where I was going with that was if you&#39;re only using it as a link... a short printed like might be a lot better.<br><br>Also, I want to agree with Phil for different reasons.  If you&#39;re going to make make it for mobile, keep in mind that they all (ok, maybe not all, but the vast majority) have some level of location awareness baked in.  It&#39;s actually built into HTML5.  So don&#39;t think of the mobile as just a smaller screen, think of it as a different device with different capabilites (yeah, it doesn&#39;t have a keyboard, but it does have GPS)<br>

<br><font face="sans-serif">Hello, everyone.  I&#39;m a new member
to this listserv (Thanks, Pete!) and I have a dilemma/question (I did try
to search through the archive first, but didn&#39;t find anything to help me).</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif">Parking and Transportation Services
is working to launch NextBus, a feature showing students/staff where all
of the shuttle buses are in real-time.  See the whole system on your
desktop computer, call a number at a particular bus stop and hear &quot;next
bus arrives in 2 minutes&quot; OR scan the QR code and get info on your
smartphone.</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif">Is anyone an expert on those QR codes?</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif">Admittedly, I&#39;m completely in the dark
on this technology/marketing tool (my phone doesn&#39;t even take pictures
- that&#39;s how outdated I am - LOL).</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif">My plan was to work with the Sign Stop
to revise the current signage at the campus shuttle stops - specifically
adding a graphic overlay to each sign.  BUT these signs are typically
6-8 feet off the ground.  Upon further research online, it sounds
to me like I&#39;ll need to make the barcode around 8 inches square.  Does
anyone use these codes personally or professionally?  Does it work
from a distance?  Does the code need to be THAT large?</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif">Based on what I found online today,
it sounds to me that my plan to revise the current signage won&#39;t work.
 I think I&#39;m going to have to make a second 8.5x11 size sign.</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif">I&#39;m just trying to not waste time/money
on doing this wrong.  Does anyone have any advice for me?</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif">Thanks in advance.</font>
