Routes & directions
All Routes & directions guides.
Set up wayfinding & directions
Give visitors turn-by-turn directions from A to B on your map — with an estimated walk time, an optional step-free (wheelchair) route, and distances worked out from your own GPS coordinates.
Read →Routes & directionsDraw an accurate path network
The walkable lines you draw into each level's artwork are what wayfinding follows. Here's how to draw a path network that produces clean, believable routes.
Read →Routes & directionsFix "No route found"
A checklist for when directions won't draw — from disconnected path islands to stranded destinations and mismatched cross-level portals.
Read →Routes & directionsGet accurate walk times
The "Est. N min" shown on directions is only as good as the scale behind it. Learn how distance is worked out, and how to make the estimate trustworthy.
Read →Routes & directionsMake paths connect at junctions
Mapvera works out where visitors can walk from the geometry of your lines, not their names. Learn how two paths are judged to meet, and how to avoid disconnected islands.
Read →Routes & directionsMake places routable destinations
A route needs somewhere to end. Learn the two ways a place becomes a wayfinding destination, and how the path network has to reach it.
Read →Routes & directionsRoute across multiple levels
When a journey spans two floors, wayfinding needs a portal — a stair or lift — that links the levels. Here's how to set portals up so cross-level routes just work.
Read →Routes & directionsSet a fixed "You are here" start
Pin every route to one starting point — ideal for a wall-mounted kiosk or a printed QR at the entrance, where you already know where the visitor is standing.
Read →Routes & directionsSet up step-free routes
Offer visitors a wheelchair-friendly route that avoids stairs. Learn how to mark step barriers in your artwork and switch the step-free option on.
Read →Routes & directionsStyle your route lines
Colour, width, smoothing and animation of the drawn route line — with the defaults and the choices that keep a route readable over busy map artwork.
