Map Design System

MapsIndoors solutions come with a default map style that balances ease of reading with visual appeal. This style is standard with every map we provide. You also have the option to customize this style to better suit your specific requirements.

Outdoor decoration

If you want more details on the outdoor surroundings of your indoor map, we also have ways to make that happen. Here are your options:

Using Google base map

We can draw on top of Google Maps to create custom outdoors for your map. Here's an example of a parking lot:

Custom drawn outdoor elements

Here's how that looks without our custom drawing:

Using Mapbox base map

We don't draw custom land when using the Mapbox base map, but instead place items such as bushes, trees, stones, etc., as 2D models.

Notice the added trees. These have been placed as 2D models in our CMS.

And when using Mapbox 3D, trees and other environmental items are a part of the base map. If more is wished, you can always add more using 3D models.
