In-app aisle map that updates when you switch stores

Posted by @priyas on 2026-05-22

The Target app tells me an item is in aisle D24, but the layout differs store to store and the app doesn't always keep up. Give me a live floor map per store with a walking path through my whole list, ordered by aisle. This is the single thing that would cut my trip time in half.

Build on the idea, point out what would break, or say why you want it.

Route optimization is the killer part. I don't want a map, I want a list reordered so I never backtrack.

Agreed, and it should handle the case where two items are on opposite ends but one is refrigerated — cold stuff last.

Worth noting store resets happen roughly quarterly, so this needs a way for employees to flag a moved item. Otherwise it rots within a month.

Crowdsource the corrections. If three shoppers scan an item in a different aisle, update it.
