How-to guides

Categories & directory

All Categories & directory guides.

Create category groups so visitors can filter your map — for example Toilets, Food, Exits — and give each group its own colour and icon.

Give a category group a short description that some directory layouts show alongside its landmarks.

Point a group at a reusable fill style so every landmark in it shares the same base, hover and selected look on the map.

Keep a group off the filter chip strip while its landmarks stay in the A–Z list and open from the map as usual.

The row of category chips lets visitors filter a map to one group at a time — here's what each tap does and how to make it spotlight the map.

Give a category group its own colour and a small icon so its filter chip stands out and its landmarks share a look on the map.

How Mapvera decides a landmark's colour — its own colour first, then its group's, then neutral — and how to use that on purpose.
