Map pins

To help visitors find specific content on your map, create a pin to represent the physical location, then associate the content with that pin.

We recommend that you create one pin for each piece of content.

Add map pins

After you add your maps, you can add pins to represent areas in your physical space. For more on adding your maps, see Exterior maps and Floor maps.

Steps

1. In the Guide section, on the Map page, select the map to which you want to add the pin, then click Add Pin.

   

   The Add Pin form appears.

2. In the Location field, add a name for the pin to help visitors know where to go (e.g., Gallery 3). It's helpful to match this name to signage or other wayfinding tools in your space.

   

   Tip: You can enclose the location name in square brackets to hide the name from the map (e.g., [Cafe]). However, remember that including a location name can help visitors find the content. For visitors using the list view of the map, the name is the only indication of the location.

3. If you know which content is available at this location, add it. You can save pins without adding content, but they won't show up your guide until they have content.

   For more, see the Attach content to a pin section of this article.

4. Click Save.

   The pin is created and appears in the center of your map.

5. Drag the pin to the correct location.

   

The pin is added to your map. For more on updating pin information, see the Manage map pins and Move pins on your map sections of this article

Attach content to a pin

There are two ways to attach content to a pin:

• Add a pin to new or existing content
• Add content to a new or existing pin

Regardless of how you do it, the Show on Map button appears in your guide so visitors can find the object in your space. You can also choose to feature the content on you map. For more, see Show on map vs. Feature on map.

Manage map pins

You can update your pins to efficiently direct visitors.

To update a content pin, click the pin, then click the more actions menu (⫶) next to the pin name and make a selection:

• Edit pin: Update the associated content, location, and/or the name of the pin.
• Delete pin: Delete the pin from the CMS and detach any associated content from the pin.

Move pins on your map

You can drag and drop content pins to adjust their location.

If you have content pinned to an exterior Google Map, you can provide the most accurate location by updating the latitude and longitude coordinates.

Update latitude and longitude coordinates:

1. Select your pin, then click the more actions menu (⫶) next to the pin name and select Edit Pin.

   

2. Update the latitude and longitude coordinates. You can copy the coordinates from Google Maps.

   Coordinates are expressed in decimal degrees format (e.g., 40.68941207542726, -74.04445748733185). Latitude values range from -90 to 90. Longitude values range from -180 to 180.

   

3. Click Save.
