Tour map

Give visitors a you-are-here map

Add a mini-map to your tour so visitors always know where they are: use a floor plan you upload, or a built-in background with automatic layout.

Video walkthrough

Video coming soon. A recorded walkthrough of these exact steps will appear here.
Narration script

The walkthrough has not been recorded yet. This is the narration it will follow, step for step.

Let us give your visitors a you-are-here map. Open your destination, click Connections, and scroll down to Tour map. First decision: the background. The best map is a real floor plan, and any image works — a scan of the building plan, an illustration, something you drew in any drawing app. There is an upload box right here, so you do not have to leave the page: upload, then select it. No floor plan? No problem. Pick the built-in grid or the blank canvas, because the numbered pins are about to become the map themselves. One note: if an older image refuses with a message about missing dimensions, re-upload it once. Older uploads predate the size information the map needs. Now the fun part. Click Arrange scenes automatically, and every scene lands on the map laid out by how your rooms connect, starting from your start scene. Treat it as a draft, and an important one to correct: it lays scenes out by how many doors they are from your start scene, not by where the rooms actually are, so on a real floor plan it will look wrong until you move things. To fine-tune, you have three routes. Click Place by clicking on a scene row, then click the exact spot on the map where that room lives. Or tap a pin to select it and walk it into place with the direction buttons, using the times-five buttons for bigger jumps, and Previous scene and Next scene to move through your scenes in order. Or type exact x and y percent values. Once a pin is selected the arrow keys work too, and holding Shift makes each step bigger. And do not worry about breaking anything: moving pins never changes your connections. Position and connection are separate, so you can rearrange the entire map and every arrow stays exactly as you set it. Remove takes a scene off the map without touching the tour. And here is what visitors get: a small round map in the corner of the tour that follows them as they move, where tapping any pin jumps straight to that room. Scenes only appear once you have placed them, so you can build the map gradually and publish when it feels right.

Steps

  1. Open your destination from /creator/destinations, click Connections, and scroll to the Tour map section.
  2. Pick a map background. The best map is a real floor plan: any image works — a scan, an illustration, an exported drawing. Upload it right there in the Upload a floor plan box (it goes into your media library as a normal image), then select it.
  3. No floor plan? Pick Simple grid or Blank canvas. The numbered scene pins themselves become the map.
  4. If an older image refuses with a message about missing dimensions, re-upload it once and pick the new copy. Images uploaded before mid-2026 predate stored dimensions, which the map needs to position pins.
  5. Click Arrange scenes automatically to lay every scene out based on your connections, starting from your start scene. It is a starting arrangement, not a final one.
  6. Fine-tune each pin three ways. Click Place by clicking on a scene row, then click the exact spot on the map. Or tap a pin to select it and step it with the Left, Right, Up and Down buttons, using the times-five buttons to move in bigger jumps; Previous scene and Next scene cycle the selection so you never have to hunt for a small pin. Or type exact x and y percent values in the fields and Save. Once a pin is selected you can also just use the arrow keys, holding Shift for a bigger step. Nudges save when you pause, not on every press.
  7. Moving pins is safe: pin position and connections are separate, so rearranging the whole map never changes, breaks or removes a single connection or arrow.
  8. Remove takes a scene off the map. Scenes not on the map simply do not appear in the visitor mini-map; the tour itself is unaffected.
  9. View your public tour: the mini-map sits in the corner of the viewer. It follows visitors as they move, and tapping a pin jumps to that scene. Scenes are only shown once placed, so you can build the map gradually.
