The Viewer helps end‑users quickly find places and navigate routes across your facility.

Get directions (A → B) across floors or between buildings.
Share your view with a link that opens the same focus or route.

UI Overview¶

MapBoot Viewer UI

Search bar (top): Find a location by name or tag (helpful if you can’t identify it on the map).
Clear — remove the current route.
Share — copy a link to the current focus or route and send it to others.
Right toolbar:
If no route is displayed: switch floors for the selected building.
If a route is displayed: step through the directions.
Location selection:
Tap or click directly on a location.
If no route is displayed: the first selected location becomes From; the second becomes To.
To edit an already assigned From/To, click the location again to replace it.
If a route is displayed: clicking any location will show its name, giving extra context and navigation clues.

Mouse, Touch & Keyboard¶

Pan: Cmd or Alt + drag
Zoom: scroll
Rotate: Cmd or Alt + scroll

💡 The map is vector‑based — zoom in without losing clarity.

Embedding in Your Website¶

Add the MapBoot Viewer to any HTML page:

HTML

<div id="map-container"></div>
<script src="https://cdn.mapboot.com/viewer/latest/mapboot.min.js"></script>
<script>
  MapBoot.init({
    target: 'map-container',
    mapid: 'your-map-id',
    unit: 'm',
  });
</script>

target: ID of the container element.
mapid: your map’s unique identifier.
unit: measurement units (e.g., meters).

Troubleshooting¶

No route found: Start or End may not be connected. Try another entrance or floor.
Accessibility route missing: Step‑free connections may not be defined in this map.
Unexpected area: Refine your search with more specific keywords or tags.
