Quest utilizes all of KQED Public Broadcasting's media platforms.  The interactive Website uses Google Map and Flickr mashups to present HD television programs, radio spots, blog postings, education guides, and interactive map-based "explorations."

Ideum worked closely with KQED to design the Website and to program most of its key functions.  The site was launched in early 2007.  Since then, Ideum and KQED have continued to add new features to the Web site prior to each new season. The latest update was completed in March of 2009.

The Quest site makes extensive use of Google Maps. All of KQED Quest television, radio stories, and blog posts are geocoded and placed into an interactive mashup. In addition, Ideum helped design and program the "exploration" mashups.  KQED staff upload GPX files (GPS eXchange Format) to create paths and points on Google Maps and connect them to Flickr photographs.  A custom content management system (CMS) allows KQED staff to manage other aspects of the site as well.
