Swapcard is pleased to announce exciting new improvements for our map feature: the ability to choose the default zoom level for floor maps and select the default map orientation directly on Studio.

This new feature will make it easier to get a better view of the map and more quickly access the information you need. With the default zoom level for floor maps, users can more easily see the locations of exhibitors and areas of interest on the map. They can also choose the default map orientation, so they won’t have to spend time rotating the map to get the perspective they need.

How to set your default zoom level and the default map orientation?

Simply access the Studio > Content display > Select the floor plan you wish to edit > Data tab

On the Data tab, there is a new section "Map properties" where you will be able to set the zoom level and map orientation 

Default zoom level

Within the "Default zoom level" field, enter a value between 1 and 21, where 1 corresponds to a preview of the globe and 21 a street.

You can define the minimum and maximum zoom levels as well, which limits the user from zooming in or out above the limits you have set.

Orientation

You can choose a value between 0 and 359° to establish the orientation of the map, where 0 corresponds to the North.

Preview

A preview of the map will help you visualize the properties selected. Please keep in mind that the preview is related to the map displayed on the web and the result on mobile may differ due to screen size.
