Glossary

The key terms you’ll see throughout RoveMaps Studio.

Venue

The place you’re mapping — a building, mall, campus, stadium, or airport. A venue contains one or more floors.

A single level of a venue. Structures, routes, and points of interest each belong to a floor.

A drawn shape — usually a building footprint, room, or suite outline — on a floor. Structures are the backbone of an indoor map.

A unit inside a structure, such as a store, office, or room, that a visitor can search for and navigate to.

The text label rendered on the map for a suite.

An entrance or exit point on a structure that routes connect to. Doors appear green when a route connects to them and red when none does.

The network of paths that powers wayfinding. Routes connect doors and floors so visitors can get turn-by-turn directions.

A connection between floors — stairs, an elevator, or an escalator — that lets a route move vertically.

A group of related map data (Structures, Custom Styles, Map References, and so on) that you can show, hide, and edit independently.

Your edits live in a draft until you publish. Publishing pushes your changes live to the map everyone sees.

A snippet you paste into your website to display your published map — as a full directory, a single highlighted location, or a custom view.
