Live Maps and Kiosks Have Levelled Up

Live maps are an awesome way for people to engage with your facilities. A map makes it quick and easy to see what's available, where it is relative to other resources, and to make a reservation with just a click of a tap.  Today, we're excited to level up live maps with 2 major upgrades.

Booking from Kiosk Maps

Starting today, you can add your live maps to a kiosk and let people interact with maps directly from your kiosks. Create a stunning and interactive visual representation of your space for users to navigate with simple taps on a room or a resource to book directly from kiosks.

Mapception - Link to Other Maps

Maps don't exist in isolation and will often link together or benefit from the ability to zoom into certain areas.  Starting today, you can define a region that links to another map to let users easily navigate between maps in your site in a visually intuitive way. And yes, map links are fully compatible with kiosk based maps so long as you have a kiosk defined with each of your maps!
