Offstreet's feature, Maps Support V1, allows administrators to display a link to a web-map in the Offstreet Portal, based on a location’s address.
Benefits Include:
Improved parker experience by providing them with a better visual understanding of the parking location, improving directional cues, and enabling efficient route planning for a frictionless parking experience
This is particularly important for guests registering in advance of arriving onsite (e.g., for events)
How It Works:
To enable address support, administrators can navigate to the location details page in the Dashboard and toggle ‘Maps Support’ on
Once enabled, the portal will display a ‘View Map’ button that links users to the location address in a web-mapping software
iOS devices will open Apple Maps
Android devices will open Google Maps
Desktop will open Google Maps
Who Has Access to This Feature:
Any users with the ability to edit/read a location can enable map support for that lot
Additional Considerations:
One limitation of V1 is that a proper address is required, which doesn’t work for some lots (those which don’t have an address)
A solution (e.g., GPS coordinates/pin-dropping) is being considered for V2
