Maps

When adding maps to the PassEdge App, you have two options available:

Option 1: Custom Map with Icons

For this option, you can create a custom map with an empty image and design custom icons within Umbraco. These icons will represent various locations or points of interest within your institution.
After creating the icons and associating them with locations in Umbraco (see Map Locations), you can then assign those icons to the custom map. This process ensures that the map within PassEdge App displays the designated icons in their respective positions.

Option 2: Map URL Integration

In this option, some institutions may have already created custom content within Google Maps, including locations, descriptions, and other relevant information.
Instead of creating maps within PassEdge, you can directly integrate your existing map content by entering the map URL. PassEdge App will load the map content within its app "frame," allowing users to access and explore the map seamlessly.

Both options offer flexibility and convenience, allowing you to choose the approach that best suits your institution's needs and preferences. Whether you opt for a custom map with icons or prefer to integrate an existing map URL, PassEdge App will ensure a smooth and engaging map experience for all users.

Add a new map

To add a new map, hover the mouse over the "Maps" node in the Umbraco tree and click on the ellipsis to the right (...) and then "Map" in the panel that opens to the right of the tree:

You can then select the Map from the Umbraco tree under "Maps"

Map Image

Upload your institution map here.

If creating custom locations for the map, ensure that the upload is an empty map with no icons.

Uploading a map with icons will allow pinch/pan/zoom of maps without any custom/icon functionality.
