Kiosk Interface Configurations

1. Open the Kiosk Editor

In the Kiosk Manager, find the Kiosk you want to configure and click EDIT. This opens the Kiosk Editor, where you can customise the Kiosk’s interface and display options.

...

2. Set Kiosk Name (Required)

MazeMap supports providing a Kiosk name which is used to be able to identify a Kiosk in the Kiosk Manager as well as in analytics. Use a name that helps identify the location of the Kiosk, such as, Building | Floor | Point of Interest | Location.

...

c. Click anywhere on the page to exit the edit mode.
d. The Kiosk preview will reload, with the new Kiosk Name.

3. Set the Kiosk Language (Optional)

MazeMap supports several languages for the Kiosk interface, including Norwegian, Swedish, German, and Finnish.

...

b. The preview will reload, with the Kiosk interface in the selected language.

4. Set or Update the Initial Map View (Required)

The “Initial Map View” is the default map position that the Kiosk returns on load and refresh. Adjusting this view allows you to set the ideal zoom level, center point, and orientation for users.

...

a. In the Kiosk Interface preview on the right, adjust the map to the desired view by setting the zoom level, map center, rotation, and bearing.
b. Click Use current view as the initial map view to save this view.
c. The preview will reload, with the new initial view shown.

5. Place or Move the “You Are Here” Marker (Required)

The “You Are Here” marker indicates the physical location of the Kiosk. This marker is used as the starting point for all routes generated from the Kiosk.

...

d. The preview will reload, with the new You Are Here” marker location shown.

6. Add WebApp Config Tag (MazeMap Only)

At present, the WebApp config tag can only be set by MazeMap Support.
This WebApp Config determines which configuration is used for the Kiosk and when sharing a route by generating a QR code that users can scan to access maps on their devices.

...

7. Disable Short Links (Optional)

Enabled by Default

MazeMap provides short links for QR codes, but you can disable them to use the full URL in QR codes instead. This may make the QR code denser but shows the complete URL to users.

Example:
https://link.mazemap.com/fgfyt6hx
becomes
https://use.mazemap.com/?#v=1&zlevel=1&center=8.717865,25.955469&zoom=2.8.

...

b. The preview will reload

8. Enable 3D Maps (Optional)

Disabled by default.

Enabling 3D rendering provides a more realistic map view with building walls, 3D extrusions, and any 3D assets included on your map.

...

b. The preview will reload, with the walls extruded.

9. Changing the Kiosk Interface Color (Optional)

Color theme #4C4F65 is set by default.

...

c. The preview will reload, showing the updated Kiosk interface colour.

10. Layout Orientation and Accessibility Button (Required)

MazeMap supports both Portrait and Landscape orientations for the Kiosk, allowing you to tailor the display for different screen setups.

...

e. Toggle the Show "accessible layout" toggle button checkbox.
f. The preview will refresh to reflect your layout choices.

11. Enable the On-Screen Keyboard (Optional)

Disabled by default.

MazeMap provides an on-screen keyboard for text input when users click the search box. Important: If you enable this, ensure the device’s own on-screen keyboard is disabled to prevent conflicts (e.g., in Windows 10, enable Touch Mode and disable the system keyboard).

...

c. The preview will refresh to reflect your layout choices.
