Exterior Maps
You can add an exterior map to give visitors a macro view of multiple buildings or outdoor objects. If your facility only has one building and doesn't have any outdoor objects, you don't need to add an exterior map. Instead, you can just add your building and floor plans. For more, see Buildings.
If you want to add floor maps for more than one building, you must add an exterior map.
When a guide contains building maps and an exterior map, the exterior map appears to visitors by default.
Adding an Exterior Map
Exterior maps let you organize your buildings and outdoor points of interest.
Steps
In the Guide section, on the Map page, click Add Exterior Map.
- In the confirmation window that appears, click Add Map.
You'll see a Google Maps preview of you exterior map in the CMS. You can add your buildings or content pins to the exterior map. For more, see Buildings and Map Pins.
Your map's center point, zoom level, and orientation are determined by your primary address. When you add or move pins, the map will automatically adjust to fit your pins within the default view. Visitors can zoom on their own, and navigate your map with their live location.
The Google Maps preview that you see in the CMS will contain a lot more information than what visitors will see in your guide. Your guide’s map is a clean, stylized rendering that only shows essential information.
If you'd prefer to use a custom image as your exterior map, you can reach out to your Connects Partner Manager to upload a custom map, and configure the locations of your map pins.
