Why it matters
Maps are operational infrastructure, not an event-day deliverable
PAM was built as an outdoor-first event management tool layered on top of Mapbox. For temporary pop-up grounds or directing highway traffic toward parking lots during a 4-hour game, outdoor tile overlays serve a purpose.
However, once a fan passes through the gate, flat outdoor maps break down. PAM treats indoor spaces as flat, static shapes layered over an outdoor map. They lack a native indoor engine capable of processing multi-floor venue structures, routing across complex concourses, or serving experience, facilities, leasing, and security teams during the 300+ days a year when no games are played.
Mappedin was built from the ground up as a native Indoor Operating System. Our platform natively ingests CAD and PDF files to create structured, navigable indoor databases.
For Operations & Facilities
Real-time, self-serve floor plan management without waiting 3 to 5 days for vendor change tickets.
For Leasing & Marketing
365-day search intent analytics and interactive data that drive non-event revenue, validate sponsor ROI, and power commercial leasing pitches.
For Security
Live spatial overlays and dynamic emergency routing that give first responders and venue security instant situational awareness during active incidents.

Mappedin vs. PAM
Purpose-built indoor intelligence vs. outdoor map overlays
Native indoor OS vs. Mapbox overlays
PAM relies on Mapbox to paint flat shapes over outdoor tilesets, degrading to basic "dead-end arrows" pointing at gates. Mappedin ingests CAD/PDF files to build true multi-floor indoor routing graphs and commercial databases.
Instant CMS vs. maintenance bottlenecks
PAM charges for service bundles and requires 3 to 5 business days to make map edits. Mappedin gives operations and facilities teams a live, self-serve CMS to update floor plans, close gates, or shift layouts in seconds.
Reliable high-density performance
PAM’s heavy 3D rendering overhead risks lagging or failing when 70,000 fans strain local cellular towers. Mappedin’s data-driven engine renders lightweight 3D over fast vector graphs, ensuring ad placements and concession paths load instantly.
365-day ROI across teams
PAM sits dormant when the stadium is empty. Mappedin provides actionable spatial intelligence year-round – powering leasing pitch decks with search intent data, streamlining facilities maintenance, and offering live spatial overlays for incident response security.
True stacked multi-floor rendering
On Mapbox, PAM's stacked floors clip or collapse to a single active level. Mappedin cleanly stacks, isolates, and slices indoor floors so fans view concourses above and sections below simultaneously.
