Your first visitor map

Create a venue, draw its places, prepare a report, then publish and test it.

Create a venue, draw its places, prepare a report, then publish and test it.

  1. Create an account and open New Map. Choose your location, title and date, then save.
  2. Open the drawing editor. Add places, useful icons and connected Path lines, then save your map.
  3. Open Reports, add a report and give it a title. Choose the layers to show and save the report.
  4. With a plan that includes visitor views, activate the QR code or set the event to Started. Open the visitor link on another device and test a route.

Save the drawing and the report separately. The free plan lets you try the editor; publishing requires a suitable paid plan.

Understand the main terms

The same tools work for events, shopping centres, hotels and other venues. Some controls keep the original event terminology.

The same tools work for events, shopping centres, hotels and other venues. Some controls keep the original event terminology.

  1. Map or event: the venue project containing its location, drawings, assignments and reports.
  2. Paddock or place: an assignable area, such as a stand, shop or pitch. It does not have to be a motorsport paddock.
  3. Layer and floor: a layer groups objects; a floor places that layer on a building level.
  4. Report: a saved presentation of the map, with selected content and optional text, images or a legend. Tracking is the public visitor view of those reports.

Create and manage maps

Create a map

Start with the real location of your venue. A clear name makes the map easier to find later.

Start with the real location of your venue. A clear name makes the map easier to find later.

  1. Choose Create a map or New Map from your account. Search for a town, address or venue, then select the correct location.
  2. Check the marker on the map. Move it if necessary, and adjust the zoom to frame your venue.
  3. Enter the title and date. Add an optional description, including the French and English versions if needed. Save to create the map.

The saved location helps visitors and editors start with the right view of your venue.

  1. Open the map’s Location section. Drag the marker to the intended centre.
  2. Adjust the zoom until the useful area is visible, then save the location.
  3. Check the saved report and visitor link too: a report can have its own saved presentation.

Reuse a layout by cloning

Cloning gives you a new project based on an existing map. It is useful for a new edition of an event.

Cloning gives you a new project based on an existing map. It is useful for a new edition of an event.

  1. In My Maps, select one map and choose Clone. Enter a new name and date, then confirm.
  2. Check the copied location, descriptions, zoom and drawing. Review the layout before making changes.
  3. Set up assignments and reports for the new map, then test it before publishing.

Cloning copies the drawing, not the complete published setup. Reports, uploaded images and assignments are not copied by this action. One-Shot accounts cannot clone maps.

Delete a map

Delete a map only when you no longer need its content or visitor link.

Delete a map only when you no longer need its content or visitor link.

  1. Open My Maps and use the checkbox to select the map you want to remove.
  2. Choose Delete. Check the selected map carefully before confirming the action.

Treat deletion as permanent. To stop public access while keeping your work, change the event status instead. One-Shot map deletion is restricted.

Draw and organise your venue

Move and rotate the map

Adjust the view to work comfortably without moving the venue itself.

Adjust the view to work comfortably without moving the venue itself.

  1. Drag an empty part of the map to move the view. Use the mouse wheel or zoom controls to zoom. On a touch device, drag and pinch.
  2. Use the rotation controls, or hold Ctrl and drag with the left mouse button, to rotate the 2D view.
  3. Save the map or report after setting the view you want to keep.

Choose shapes, icons and labels

Choose an object’s type for what it does, not only for how it looks.

Choose an object’s type for what it does, not only for how it looks.

  1. Use polygons, circles or boxes for spaces. Choose Paddock for an area that needs a participant or partner assignment; other area types describe the layout.
  2. Use icons for services and landmarks. Use Path lines for routing, Measure for distances, and Simple or Direction for visual lines.
  3. Set fill, border, opacity and available text options. Auto labels number supported closed shapes; free text adds your own label. Check numbering after deleting or reordering places.
  4. For patterned areas, try the Hashed or Texture types and their available texture settings. Keep labels readable over the pattern.

Use ground materials and Texture areas

Fill paths, plazas and landscape areas with a repeating surface pattern.

Texture fills one editable area with a repeating ground pattern. Use it to show surfaces such as grass, gravel, paving, water or flooring.

  1. In the map editor, choose the floor and layer where the surface belongs. Open Draw, choose Polygon, Circle or Box, and set Type to Texture.
  2. Open Ground material to preview the patterns. Search by name or browse the choices, then select the material that best describes the real surface.
  3. Set Orientation to 0°, 45°, 90° or 135° to align the material pattern with the space. The angle is saved with the area and shown in both 2D and 3D.
  4. Draw the area on the map. For a polygon, click its corners and double-click to finish. Use Inner Color to adjust the material tint, Opacity to control how much of the map shows through, and Stroke Color and Size for its outline.
  5. Save the map. To change the surface later, open Edit, use Single selection, click the area and choose another Ground material or adjust its style.

Texture is visual decoration, not a wayfinding connection. Draw separate Path lines on the appropriate walking layer when visitors should be routed through the area.

Choose Hashed instead when the area needs diagonal, horizontal or vertical hatch lines. Its hatch color, line width, spacing and angle have separate controls from the area's outline.

Keep text and route lines readable over the material. Check the result in both 2D and 3D, especially when a pattern covers a large area or several floors.

Place and orient 3D objects

Choose a model, place it on the right floor, then check its size and facing direction.

3D objects show equipment, vehicles and landmarks as models when you view the map in 3D. Their flat thumbnails mark their positions in 2D.

  1. In the map editor, select a floor and a layer for the objects. If the floor selector shows All, choose a floor and its layer before drawing.
  2. Choose Draw, set the shape to Point, then open the 3D models tab. Browse the categories or search for a model, select its thumbnail and click the 2D map to place it.
  3. The thumbnail shows the object's footprint and facing direction. After placing it, use the arrow keys to nudge it or Delete to remove it. In Edit, select the object to adjust its size, drag it or use its rotation handle.
  4. Add popup text when visitors need more information. Save the map, switch to 3D and check the model from several angles and on the intended floor.

Check the facing direction of gates, barriers, ticket machines, chargers and vehicles against the route people or cars will take. Keep models on a dedicated layer when you need to hide or reorder them together.

Draw, select and edit objects

The toolbox has three modes: Draw creates objects, Edit changes them, and View controls what you see.

The toolbox has three modes: Draw creates objects, Edit changes them, and View controls what you see.

  1. In Draw, choose a shape and type before placing it. Click for each vertex of a line or polygon; double-click to finish. For a circle, choose its centre and then its radius.
  2. After finishing a drawing, the new object stays selected in Draw. Use the arrow keys to nudge it, Shift plus an arrow key for a larger move, or Delete, Backspace or the delete button to remove it. Drag and rotation handles become available in Edit.
  3. Set box dimensions before drawing. In Edit, choose Single selection and click an object to change its available style and text controls.
  4. Drag a selected object to move it, or use its rotation handle. Choose Multi selection and draw a selection rectangle to move, rotate, copy or delete several objects together.
  5. Use Re-order when you want to realign supported places with the map orientation. Check the result and numbering, then save.

Selection does not give every shape a resize handle. If the required dimension cannot be edited, redraw the shape with the intended size.

Place images, logos and popup text

Use a map image as a place marker or logo. A background plan and a report overlay are separate tools.

Use a map image as a place marker or logo. A background plan and a report overlay are separate tools.

  1. Open the image choices in the drawing toolbox. Upload an image with the add button or drag-and-drop area, then select its thumbnail.
  2. Click the map to place it. Adjust image size and rotation; use Edit to select and reposition it.
  3. Enable Always Visible when you need a stable on-screen icon size. Add Popup Text when that control is available, then save and check the visitor view.

Use small, clear image files and check them in both 2D and 3D. Image allowances depend on your plan.

Measure distances and areas

Measurements help with layout planning. Their accuracy depends on the map and the geometry you draw.

Measurements help with layout planning. Their accuracy depends on the map and the geometry you draw.

  1. In Draw, choose Line and the Measure type. Click each point of the distance you want to measure, then double-click to finish.
  2. Select a shape to inspect the measurements available for its geometry, such as area, perimeter, radius or dimensions.
  3. Check important site dimensions against your source plan or a measurement on site before relying on them.

Organise layers and visibility

Keep buildings, places, services and paths in separate layers when it makes the map easier to maintain.

Keep buildings, places, services and paths in separate layers when it makes the map easier to maintain.

  1. Open the Layer Manager and add a layer with the plus button. Give it a name and a floor number.
  2. Select the layer you want to work on before drawing. Use the eye control to show or hide it, and the ordering controls to change which layers appear above others.
  3. In View, check individual hidden objects as well as hidden layers. Save after changing your presentation.

Deleting a layer removes its content; hiding it only changes visibility. Review the selected layer before deleting.

Choose a background map

Switch backgrounds to make the venue easier to recognise and the drawn objects easier to read.

Switch backgrounds to make the venue easier to recognise and the drawn objects easier to read.

  1. Use the background-map control to choose OpenStreetMap, topographic or satellite imagery where offered.
  2. Choose the blank white background when you want the drawing to stand on its own, for example in a simple venue plan or printed report.
  3. Use the custom-map option when your event has a prepared background image. Check the result at several zoom levels.
  4. Set the background you want in the saved report and test the visitor map. Background tiles require a network connection.

Align an existing plan with the map

Georeferencing positions a plan image over the real venue. It does not automatically turn the image into editable places or walking paths.

Georeferencing positions a plan image over the real venue. It does not automatically turn the image into editable places or walking paths.

  1. Open the custom-map setup from the map/background area and load your local plan image.
  2. Use Transform to move, scale and rotate the image. Use Distort when you need to adjust its corners separately.
  3. Lower the opacity and align several known landmarks with the satellite map. Check all corners, not only the centre, then save.
  4. Allow time for background processing, then reopen or refresh the map and select the custom background. Draw your interactive objects and paths on top.

Processing time varies with the image and server load. If the background is still missing, check the upload/save message and contact support rather than repeatedly uploading the same large file.

Save your work

Save regularly and wait for the success message before closing or changing pages.

Save regularly and wait for the success message before closing or changing pages.

  1. In the drawing toolbox, use Save in Draw or Edit mode to save the current map.
  2. Save location details, assignments, report content and descriptions with their own controls. They are not a single automatic save operation.
  3. If saving fails, keep the page open, check your connection and the error message, and retry after addressing the problem.

When you leave an edited drawing, the unsaved-changes prompt lets you stay, discard changes or save and leave. Wait for a successful save before closing the tab.

A save conflict means a newer version exists. Cancel and coordinate with the other editor before deciding which changes to keep. Overwrite and save replaces the latest version with your drawing; it does not merge both edits.

Do not rely on automatic saving. Updating the drawing also requires re-syncing and saving existing reports when you want visitors to see the new layout.

Restore a saved drawing

The Last Update control in the toolbox opens the available saved history, with dates and the user who saved each version.

The Last Update control in the toolbox opens the available saved history, with dates and the user who saved each version.

  1. Save anything you want to keep before opening an older version.
  2. Choose Last Update, then select a dated version in the restore timeline. Inspect the drawing that loads.
  3. Save the restored drawing if you want to make it the current version. Re-sync affected reports and check the visitor map.

Saved history is for the drawing. Do not treat it as an undo for account deletion, deleted events, uploaded files or every report setting.

Keyboard shortcuts

Use shortcuts while working on the map, with focus outside text fields. The visible controls remain available without shortcuts.

Use shortcuts while working on the map, with focus outside text fields. The visible controls remain available without shortcuts.

  1. Ctrl+D: Draw. Ctrl+E: Edit. Ctrl+L: View. These shortcuts can replace the browser action while the editor has focus.
  2. Arrow keys: nudge the last completed drawing in Draw mode or a selected object in Edit mode. Shift plus an arrow key moves the drawing farther. Delete or Backspace removes the selected object immediately after drawing, or the selected object or group in Edit mode.
  3. Ctrl+C: copy the selected object or group in Edit mode, or the last completed drawing in Draw mode. Ctrl+V: paste into the currently selected layer.
  4. Ctrl + left-button drag: rotate the 2D map. Double-click: finish drawing a line or polygon.

To copy between layers or floors, select objects in Edit mode or finish drawing in Draw mode, press Ctrl+C, select the destination layer, then press Ctrl+V. Copy and paste work in both Draw and Edit modes, with a brief confirmation after each action. Copying does not change the map. Each paste creates independent objects with new numbers and a small offset, preserving their relative positions and styles. Ctrl+Z undoes a paste. On macOS, use Command+C and Command+V. Text fields keep their normal copy and paste behaviour.

Floors and walking routes

Set up floors, stairs and elevators

Assign floors consistently before building routes between levels. Floor 0 normally represents the ground floor or outdoor space.

Assign floors consistently before building routes between levels. Floor 0 normally represents the ground floor or outdoor space.

  1. Create a layer for each level or group of objects, and enter its floor number in the Layer Manager. Layers without a floor are treated as floor 0.
  2. Draw Path lines on every floor that needs walking directions. Use the floor filter to check one level at a time.
  3. Add matching stairs or elevator points on the connected floors at the same real-world position. Connect each access point to its floor’s paths.
  4. Choose generic stairs/elevators for both directions, or the Up/Down versions for one direction. Save the drawing, re-sync the report and test the route in both directions.

An elevator icon alone does not certify an accessible route. Check the real entrance, paths, lifts and any restrictions on site.

See a product screenshot Stairs and elevator icon choices in the drawing toolbox

Navigate between floors

The floor selector appears when the map contains multiple levels. It changes the level you are viewing, not your physical location.

The floor selector appears when the map contains multiple levels. It changes the level you are viewing, not your physical location.

  1. Choose your current floor and destination. Check the starting point before following directions.
  2. For a destination on another floor, follow the available stairs or elevator guidance. The displayed route depends on the floor currently selected.
  3. After moving to the next floor, select that floor to inspect the remaining route. If the connection is missing, ask venue staff and let the organiser know.

Floor 0 includes layers that were not assigned a floor. Missing paths or unmatched access points can prevent a usable cross-floor route; do not assume a displayed straight connection is a walkable path.

See a product screenshot Navigate between floors — product screenshot

Prepare the walking-path network

Directions use Path lines from your map. A decorative line, a satellite road or an image of a path is not a routing connection.

Directions use Path lines from your map. A decorative line, a satellite road or an image of a path is not a routing connection.

  1. In Draw, choose Line and the Path type. Trace routes through the areas visitors may actually use.
  2. Connect junctions carefully. Bring paths close to entrances and destinations, and keep them on the correct floor.
  3. Choose one-way or two-way movement. For a one-way path, check its drawn direction and test travel from both ends.
  4. Save, re-sync the report and test several routes in the visitor view. Check both short routes and routes crossing your whole venue.

Walking time is an estimate. Verify your routes on site; the map cannot detect a newly closed door or a temporary obstruction for you.

Visitor maps and kiosk mode

Embed a map on your website

Configure a visitor or kiosk map, preview it and copy its URL or iframe code. External websites need administrator approval.
  1. Open the QR-code menu in My Maps or in a report, then choose Embed this map. The page heading shows your map title.
  2. The map preview appears first, with options on the right. On a phone, the map appears above the options. Expand a settings group to see its controls.
  3. Choose visitor or kiosk mode, the initial 2D or 3D view, language, background map and starting floor. In kiosk mode, set the latitude, longitude and floor to the installed screen’s position.
  4. Select the published reports to include. Choose which controls and content to show: search, information, map settings, layers, floors, services, categories, icons, 3D objects, names, place numbers and legends. Walking and car controls apply to visitor mode; the QR-code display applies to kiosk mode.
  5. Under dimensions, choose the iframe width, height and rounded corners. The preview fits the available screen space; the generated code uses your chosen dimensions.
  6. In the sharing card, choose URL to copy a direct tracking link, or Embed code to copy the complete iframe HTML. Use the Copy button in that card. Changes update the preview and sharing content automatically.

The URL uses ordinary & separators. The iframe HTML uses & inside its attributes; paste the generated HTML unchanged into your website’s HTML embed block.

The blue notice at the top reminds you that an administrator must allow the website that will contain the iframe. An administrator can add or disable an origin in Django admin under Paddock → Tracking iframe domains. Include the exact scheme, domain and port when applicable; www and other subdomains are separate origins.

Only visitor and kiosk tracking pages can be embedded. Embed the generated tracking URL, not the configuration page. These display options do not change saved maps, reports or access permissions.

Before sharing, publish the map and test the iframe on the destination website, including 2D/3D, search, floors and any kiosk QR code. If the browser refuses the iframe, ask the administrator to check the allowed origin. Location access still depends on browser permission.

Find a place and get directions

Open the shared link or scan the venue’s QR code in your browser. An internet connection is needed to load the map.

Open the shared link or scan the venue’s QR code in your browser. An internet connection is needed to load the map.

  1. Search for a place or choose a category. Select a result or tap a place on the map to open its details.
  2. Read the place information, then choose Let’s Go when available. Check the displayed starting point and floor.
  3. Allow browser location access if you want your device’s position. Without GPS, a configured reference point or Info marker may provide a starting point; it is not your live position.
  4. Use Map Settings to change the background, language, visible reports or floors when those options are available.

Location accuracy depends on the device, permission and signal, especially indoors. Check the starting point and follow the venue’s signs and staff instructions.

Set up a visitor kiosk

Kiosk mode is designed for a fixed screen where visitors explore the venue and continue on their own phone.

Kiosk mode is designed for a fixed screen where visitors explore the venue and continue on their own phone.

  1. In the report, centre the map on the physical position of the kiosk. Open the QR-code menu and choose the kiosk visitor view.
  2. Verify that You are here matches the installed screen. Kiosk links use the supplied latitude and longitude as the start; a floor parameter can specify its level in a multi-floor venue.
  3. Test the categories, search, place details and directions. Choose 2D or 3D according to the screen and venue.
  4. Select a destination and scan the displayed QR code with a phone. Check that the visitor can continue to the same place.

The kiosk reloads after five minutes without interaction. Keep its starting coordinates accurate; it does not locate each visitor by GPS.

Save and find a parking spot

The My Car control in the mobile visitor view remembers a parking location in the current browser.

The My Car control in the mobile visitor view remembers a parking location in the current browser.

  1. At your parking spot, enable location and use My Car. Check the saved pin before walking away.

  1. Open My profile and choose Unsubscribe when it is available. Read the confirmation carefully before accepting.
  2. Wait for the success message and check your profile and confirmation email. Billing cancellation is scheduled for the end of the current billing period.
  3. If you need a different plan, contact support to confirm the appropriate change before launching another map.

Invite a team member and collaborate

Organisation members can work on shared maps when the account’s plan includes team access. Participants and partners are separate records.

Organisation members can work on shared maps when the account’s plan includes team access. Participants and partners are separate records.

  1. Ask the person to create their own account and give you their username.
  2. Open My profile and Organisation Members. Enter the username and choose Invite Members, within your member allowance.
  3. The invited person opens their profile and accepts or declines the invitation. Confirm their membership before sharing editing work.
  4. Coordinate edits. If a save reports a conflict, another user has saved a newer version: review the latest map before applying your changes again.

Concurrent changes are not automatically merged. Avoid editing the same drawing or report at the same time, and do not discard a conflict warning without reviewing the latest version.

  1. Open My profile and choose Delete user.

Checks and troubleshooting

Check the map before opening to visitors

Test the actual visitor experience on site, on a phone and on any kiosk you plan to use.

Test the actual visitor experience on site, on a phone and on any kiosk you plan to use.

  1. Save the drawing and every intended report. Re-sync reports after layout changes, and check the default report and visible floors.
  2. Check place names, assignments, categories, images, descriptions and links in both languages you use.
  3. Test routes from the entrance and kiosk to several destinations, including stairs or elevators. Walk important routes to verify their accuracy.
  4. Scan the printed QR code on another device. Check the event is Started and the plan includes enough active maps and visitor views for your audience.

Solve common problems

Start with the message shown by the application. These checks cover the most common causes.

Start with the message shown by the application. These checks cover the most common causes.

  1. Map unavailable: check the event status, a saved report, your active-map allowance and the remaining visitor views. A copied QR code cannot override these limits.
  2. Changes missing: save the drawing, re-sync and save the relevant report, then reload the visitor page. Check its selected report, floor and hidden layers.
  3. No useful route: check the starting point, selected floor, connected Path lines, one-way direction and matching stairs/elevators. Re-test after saving and re-syncing.
  4. Wrong GPS position: check location permission and device settings. Signal can be poor indoors. Use a known starting point and check venue signs.
  5. Save conflict or limit reached: read the message, review the latest saved version or your plan limits, and coordinate with other editors before retrying.
  6. Slow or blank 3D view: try 2D, check the connection and use a browser with compatible graphics support. If a custom background is missing, check whether processing has finished.

If 3D is slow or blank in Chrome, check that graphics acceleration is enabled, then relaunch the browser. See the Chrome setup steps
