Maps and Locations

Adding an Image Map

To add a map to the maps button within your app, select the + New button in the top right of the screen.

Give your map a name and upload your image (png or jpg).

All map images are saved at a maximum size of 4000px wide.

You may wish to crop some of the image by dragging the cropping box.

You may wish to hit approve without changing the cropping box to upload the image as is.

Don't forget to hit save after approving your image crop.

Background Color

You may select a background color to match your map image.

The default background color is a light gray.

Margins

Setting a margin to a map image allows the user to scroll past the edge of the map.

Leaving the margin set to the default value of "0" should work for the majority of use cases.

Adding Pinned Locations to a Map

New Map Locations

To add a new location to your map, select the New Location+ button above the map view.

Enter the name of your location in the dialog box.

UnPinned Locations

New locations added to your map appear in the UnPinned tab.

To pin a location, select the pin icon next to the location name.

You can add corresponding pins to multiple locations by selecting the pin icon next to each location in your UnPinned list.

All new pins are added to the center of your map.

New pins are ready to be dragged and dropped to their final location.

New Pins

New pins appear on the map in red.

Red pins indicate you have not moved the pin from its default location.

Red pins do not appear in the app yet.

Drag the pin to save its final location.

If you pin multiple locations at the same time, clicking the pin shows the name of the location before you drag it to its final location.

Other Locations

Adding existing locations to your map (from an agenda import for example) is done from the Other Locations tab.

Select the + icon next to the location name to add it as an UnPinned location associated with this map.

Pinning works exactly like pinning UnPinned locations.

Image Map on Device

Image maps load "zoomed out" to display as much of the map as possible.

Below is an example of how a 2000px w x 1098px h image loads in the app.

Default Background Color

Adding a Street Map

In addition to displaying map images, you can also display street maps under the map button.

This is useful for displaying a map of your event's venue location.

Choose "Street Map" as the map type and give your map a name.

You can add pins to a street map in the same way pins are added to an image map. Pinned locations do not appear until the user taps the map.

You can adjust the center point that the map will load to by panning the map and selecting the save view button from the top. You can adjust the zoom level by hitting the + or - buttons on the map. Select the save view button from the top after adjusting zoom.

Street Map On Device

Below is an example of the same street map from above as it is loaded on the device.

Note: no pin is shown by default.

Pinned locations appear only after tapping the screen.

Locations

You can find a list of all locations under the Related Resources > Locations section of your side navigation menu.

Add Locations

Sometimes you need to add a location that isn't associated with a map.

From the locations list, you can add a new location by selecting the +New button from the top of the screen.

For locations that will be pinned later, enter the name of the location and save.

For locations that you want to link to a Google map address, fill in the Address fields.

For locations that you want to link to a website, fill in the Website Url field.
