Documentation

Reference docs for every part of the Geocodinated editor, from your first floor plan to publishing, kiosks, and analytics.

Getting started

A quick overview of the Geocodinated editor and what you'll need before you upload your first floor plan.

All you need to begin is one floor plan image, no CAD files or GIS data required. Sign up and publish maps to your own account for free, so you can see exactly how they'll look, you only pay once you're ready to go live on a private domain or publicly.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Floor Plans

    Floors, halls, and floor plan images.

  2. 2

    Georeferencing

    Position plans in their real spatial layout.

  3. 3

    Walls & rooms

    Outline walls and room boundaries.

  4. 4

    Walkable paths

    Draw connected walkable paths across the floor.

  5. 5

    Connections & entrances

    Stairs, elevators, entrances, exits.

  6. 6

    Kiosks & QR codes

    Optional physical anchor points for pathfinding.

  7. 7

    Areas of interest

    Drop markers and link to POIs.

  8. 8

    Customization

    Pick a theme and visual style.

  9. 9

    Publish map

    Set visibility and grab the embed code.

Every step saves as you finish it, close the tab whenever you like and pick up right where you left off. Most maps only take one sitting to finish.

Uploading a floor plan

Supported file types, multi-floor setup, and how alignment and scale work across floors.

A map is organized into floors, and each floor holds one or more plan images. In the editor's Floor Plans step, "Add level" adds a new floor and "Add plan" adds another plan to the current floor, in the simplest case that's one plan per floor.

Examples

Single floor plan — a museum

The simplest case: one floor, one plan.

FloorPlan
Floor 0 — GroundMuseum floor plan

Multiple floors — a 3-floor mall

Every physical level is its own floor, one plan each.

FloorPlan
Floor 0 — GroundGround floor
Floor 1First floor
Floor 2Second floor

Multiple plans, one floor — an exhibition with 3 halls

Sections on the same physical level are separate plans under one floor, not separate floors.

Floor 2Hall C

Keeping same-level sections grouped under one floor is what keeps the layout and pathfinding logical later: moving between halls stays on the same floor, while moving between an upper and lower level crosses floors.

Calibrating scale

You'll need to know the real-world distance between any two points on your plan, a hallway length, a doorway width, anything measurable, so Geocodinated can scale the map accurately.

Editor tools

A quick reference for every drawing tool in the map editor — the same short guide shown the first time you pick up each tool.

Draw rectangle

Click two diagonal corners to draw a rectangular room. Hold alt to skip snapping to nearby walls.

Draw polygon

Click each corner, then click the first point again to close the shape. Hold alt to skip auto closing.

Draw polyline (realistic wall)

Click along a wall's path. Right-click to finish a line. You can end or start from any polyline section. Hold alt to skip snapping.

Draw path

Click along the walkable route through this floor. Right-click to finish a line. You can end or start from any polyline section. Hold alt to skip snapping.

Place connection

Click to drop a connection such as entrance, stairs etc. The connection is auto duplicated to a reachable plan.

Place kiosk

Click to place a kiosk or QR code anchor point. Scanned maps start from marked anchor location.

Place marker

Click to drop a marker for a point of interest. POIs with custom ids can be managed through POI Manager.

Points of Interest

Unlimited POIs, a custom id for rich data, and how image icons earn priority on the map.

Drop as many points of interest as your map needs, restrooms, retail, gates, anything worth finding. Give one a custom id and it's ready for rich data, editable anytime from the POI Manager.

  • Add as many points of interest as your map needs, no cap.
  • Give a marker a unique id to attach rich data to it later.
  • Add custom fields, price range, hours, extra details, whatever it needs.
  • Add a custom image icon and it renders larger, and stays visible longer as visitors zoom out.
  • Give your main attractions a custom icon and rich data so they're the ones people find first.

Publishing & sharing

Choosing who can see your map, embedding it anywhere, and generating kiosk links & QR codes.

Every map starts private to you, viewable only in your own account after signing in. When you're ready, publish it so others can reach it too.

ModeWho can see it
For MyselfFreeOnly you, once you've signed in.
PrivateOnly the domains you allow.
PublicAnyone, anywhere.

Once you're live

  • Grab a ready-to-paste embed code for your own site.
  • Download links for physical kiosks, plus QR codes to print.

Kiosk mode

Turning any screen into a wayfinding kiosk, with its own URL and kiosk-tuned UI.

Every kiosk point gets its own URL, meant to be opened directly on the hardware, a screen mounted at an entrance, a tablet, or a touchscreen at a front desk. Opening it switches the map into a kiosk-tuned interface:

Bigger, bolder iconsNo stray menusControls within reach

Any desktop or laptop can run kiosk mode, though a large touchscreen makes for the best walk-up experience. Prefer not to install hardware at all? Download a QR code instead, visitors scan it with their own phone to start from that exact spot, the kiosk feel with zero hardware.

Analytics
