Navigation

The support page on “Navigation” explains how to create navigation paths on your map using waypoints. The guide provides a clear step-by-step explanation for creating and managing paths in the FRAMR. map editor. These paths allow you to link different layers together and build a structured, multi-level navigation system – ideal for complex buildings like shopping malls or offices.

Create and Edit Waypoints

With waypoints, you can create any paths and connections within your map – ideal for precise navigation through different areas and levels.


Activate edit mode: Open the list in the editor and select “Edit waypoints.

Create waypoints:
Double-click to place a new waypoint at the desired position on the map. You can add as many points as you like to trace paths.
Delete waypoint:
If you want to remove a point, right-click on it and select “Delete waypoint.
Edit waypoint:

Click on a placed waypoint and open the “Edit” section to give the point a custom name – especially useful if you want to link it to other layers later.


Title:
The title is the displayed name of the waypoint, which you can assign freely. It helps with better overview and recognition, especially if you use many waypoints on the map or connect them across multiple layers. A meaningful title – for example, “West Stairs Ground Floor” or “Elevator Access Upper Floor” – will make editing, linking, and managing navigation much easier later on.

Connection Type:
Here you specify how the transition between two waypoints behaves – e.g., stairs, elevator, ramp, or standard path. This information helps later in selecting optimal or barrier-free routes and improves the map’s display.


Duration:

Enter the estimated number of seconds a user will likely need to travel this section between two points. This affects the estimated travel time in the navigation and allows for realistic route calculation.


Waypoint is not accessible for disabled users:

Activate this option if the waypoint is not accessible for people with limited mobility – for example, if it can only be reached via stairs. The system can then specifically exclude these points when calculating barrier-free routes.


Waypoint is inaccessible:

If a waypoint is permanently closed or temporarily unusable (e.g., due to construction or temporary closure), you can deactivate it with this option. It will then no longer be considered in navigation without needing to delete it.
Connections:
To link a waypoint with any other waypoints across all layers of a map, select in the “Connections” section all the points it should be connected to. This creates complete, walkable routes on your map, even across multiple levels.
