Show on map vs. feature on map

Your map can support two goals. First, it can show the physical location of a specific object so visitors can navigate to it. Second, it can give an overview of key objects so visitors can decide what they want to see.

This article explains the difference between these two options.

Show on map

When you attach content to a location pin, the Show on Map button appears in your guide.

When visitors tap Show on Map, your map opens to a specific pin so they know exactly where to find the object. For exhibitions, the Show on Map button shows the pins for all the items in the exhibition.

Feature on map

In addition to adding the Show on Map button to your content, you can choose to feature certain content on your map. Featuring content on the map helps visitors who are browsing your guide and want a quick overview of what you provide.

Opening the Map tab shows the location of all featured content.

At a minimum, we recommend that you feature all current and ongoing Exhibitions.

To feature content on your map, first attach the content to a pin. Then turn on the Feature on Map switch.
