Well so far this year, Mappedin has been focused on enhancing our already best-in-class mapping applications, investing in new industries, and supporting a safe return to work. We’ve released our SDK V3, onboarded customers to our Responsive Web App V2, are trialing features to make map management even more efficient, and so much more.

New releases
Mapping SDKs
V3 Production Releases 3.0.0+: Mappedin customers can now enjoy V3 Production Releases of all SDKs, including Web, React Native, Android, and iOS. Updated API documentation, and Sample Apps can be found on our Developer Portal, with ongoing release notes available on the Developer Blog.
Custom Markers: Create your own custom location marker to highlight the most relevant information for users. This can include capacity limits, location images, amenities, and more. Custom markers are available on React Native, Android, and iOS SDKs.
Multi-Destination Support: Mappedin SDKs now include the ability for users to plan a route with multiple stops. This gives users the ability to add various points of interest and see the most efficient route through the venue.
Customized Styling for Smart Labels: Customers using our Mapping SDKs can customize the styling of Smart Labels on their venue maps. Alter the appearance of the marker or text label by customizing size, colour, and stroke, as shown below.
To learn more about our SDKs, visit our Developer Portal or read the blog Product 101: Mapping SDKs.

Please note:

Web V2 is designed to be unaffected by your website’s CSS styling
RTL Support: As part of our commitment to continually invest in localization and global expansion, Mappedin Directories and our Responsive Web App V2 now both support new languages with a Right-to-Left (RTL) user interface.
Map Editor
CAD Import Feature: Over the past quarter, we’ve been working on an exciting new feature for our Map Editor. Currently being piloted, our CAD Importer provides new efficiencies to maintaining your indoor venue maps. With the click of a button, this feature imports all geometry included in your CAD file in order to generate a copy of your building in the Map Editor. Additionally, any location IDs associated with geometries are imported and assigned within our platform.
We will continue to keep you updated as we work to make this feature readily available for our customers.

Vendor spotlight

Satisfi Labs is a conversational AI platform, creating conversational answer engines for destinations and experiences.

Mappedin and Satisfi Labs work together to provide maximum discoverability for venues.
In a stadium or arena, guests can ask the AI-powered assistant questions ranging from “Where can I buy tickets?” or “What time does the game start?” to statements such as “I’m hungry” to be shown a list of food options available within the venue. This chatbot is linked with Mappedin’s digital map to provide guests an end-to-end experience.
