Buildings in Outdoor View
Visitors can use the Outdoor View to see the buildings of your venue and, if enabled, their own position.
Select a building configured on the map to see more detail about it, with an option to Open in Maps. This will open location in their device’s default map app, using the address entered in the Console.
If the visitor’s position is near a Building in your venue, they will see a prompt to ‘Enter’ the Building, transitioning to an indoor map.
