Mapifator map story

But, first of all, let’s check what is Mapifator map story by itself and what features does it have.

Places are the main entities in the Mapifator map story. You can filter them by tags and learn more about the place by clicking on it. You can attach to the place some amenities like, for example, parking tourist centers and others and geometries like, for example, boundaries, routes or any custom geometries to tell your customers more about the place.

Map info allows you to provide data about the map and set up tag filters which will appear together with map information.

Step 1. Create markers and tags

We recommend you to start with markers and text for your places. Go to the “Settings” tab and defined here how your places will appear on the map and which features they could have. You can also select a map type in the map settings.
