Build your first map (10 minutes)

Create a map

From your maps dashboard , click Add new map. You can either upload your own file — an SVG, PNG, or JPG — or pick one of the built-in geographic maps. An SVG gives you clickable vector shapes (rooms, zones, seats); a raster image works well for maps where markers sit on top.

Check the base layer

The builder opens on your new map. In the Layers panel, confirm the file uploaded correctly and that the map dimensions look right. A map can have several layers — the floors of a building, for example — but one is all you need to start.

See the Layers guide for multi-layer maps.

Add locations

Locations are the interactive points and shapes on your map. Add them two ways:

• In the Locations panel, click the + button. A new location is added at the center of the map — drag it into place.
• On an SVG, use the recognizer to turn the file’s named vector elements into locations automatically.

Every location needs an id — that’s the only required field. Everything else (title, description, image, link, and more) is optional. On vector maps the id should match its SVG element id so the shape becomes interactive.

The Locations guide covers every field, the recognizer, and bulk CSV import.

Settings and modules

Two panels control how your map behaves:

• Settings — core map behavior: zoom and pan, fullscreen, the hover tooltip, deeplinking, and breakpoints.
• Modules — larger features you switch on as needed: the directory, search & filters, the legend, localization, opening hours, and wayfinding.

Every setting is documented in the map data schema.

Publish & embed

When you’re happy with the result, publish the map and copy its embed snippet onto your site. Publishing & embedding walks through the embed code, version pinning, and what each subscription tier serves.
