A 3D indoor map for phones, desktops and kiosks

The DigiMaps Wayfinder is the visitor side of DigiMaps: a 3D map of every floor that people search, tilt and follow step by step. One app serves phones, desktops and kiosks, from Full HD to 4K. It opens in a browser from a link or a QR code, with nothing to install.

Visitors find what they mean, not only what they type

Search runs on the device, so results appear as people type, even on a kiosk with a weak connection. A typo, a room number without its dashes, an everyday word or a different Arabic spelling still finds the place.

  • Typed: cardiolgy Finds: Cardiology Level 2 One typo allowed in words of five letters or more
  • Typed: loo Finds: Restrooms Ground, by Outpatients An everyday word from the industry pack’s synonyms
  • Typed: b104 Finds: Room B-1.04 Level 1 Room numbers match without dots or dashes
  • Typed: صيدليه Finds: الصيدلية · Pharmacy Ground Arabic letter forms and the ال prefix folded
  • Typed: اشعة Finds: الأشعة · Radiology Ground Hamza forms and the ال prefix folded
  • Typed: rad Finds: Radiology Ground Prefix match while the visitor is still typing

Synonyms only widen what a real place matches. They never create a result that isn’t on the map.

Fourteen industry packs bring the everyday vocabulary for their venue type, complete in English and Arabic. Six more languages are in draft.

Every place gets a card that answers the next question

Tap a place and the card says whether it is open today and how many minutes’ walk it is from where the visitor stands. Directions and the step-free route are one tap away, and on a kiosk so is the QR code for the phone.

  1. Hours in the venue’s time zone. Open or Closed is worked out for today. A day nobody filled in shows as unknown, never guessed.
  2. Walking time from here. It uses the visitor’s routing profile and any live closures.
  3. One tap to directions, or straight to the step-free route.
  4. Send to phone draws a QR code on a kiosk. Phones add copy link and tap to call; the phone number is hidden on kiosks.
  5. Listen reads the card aloud. It only appears when the device has a voice for that language.

Temporarily closed Moved Live badges appear when your team posts a closure or a move in Studio.

Wayvale General Hospital is a fictional venue. Hours and walking times are illustrative.

Directions that name real landmarks

The panel opens with distance, time and floor changes, then numbered steps in the visitor’s language. A lift ride is one instruction that names the final floor, not “go up, go up again”. In Arabic, steps never fall back to English labels from the CAD drawing.

Step-free route at the fictional Wayvale General Hospital. Distances and times are illustrative.

Six routing profiles. Standard, wheelchair, reduced mobility, avoid stairs, stroller and low vision. Step-free is a hard rule: a wheelchair route never uses a stepped edge.

A stop on the way. Ask for the nearest prayer room on the route, and the router picks the one that keeps the whole walk shortest.

Opening hours on arrival. If a place closes before the visitor gets there, the route says so: “Closes at 17:00, before you arrive.”

Step-free routes, reach mode and the other accessibility settings

Watch the route first, then turn the map to face it

Preview route plays the walk floor by floor before the visitor sets off. On a kiosk, Your view turns the map to match the way the visitor is facing, because the kiosk knows which way it points. Calm mode and the reduced motion setting stop the animation.

North up. The visitor faces east, so “ahead” is to the right of the screen. Fine on a phone, confusing on a kiosk.

Your view. The kiosk turns the map so “ahead” is up. Preview route then plays the walk floor by floor.

Live when the building changes. Still working when the Wi-Fi drops.

When your team closes a lift or a restroom in Studio, phones and kiosks get it over a live channel within seconds, without a new map release. A visitor already walking is re-routed and told why.

Live changes
Closures, moved services, notices and emergencies. No republish needed.
Offline
After one online visit, the app, the map, 3D assets and fonts stay on the device. Search and routes still work.
Statistics
Taps queue on the device while offline and upload when the network returns. No personal data.

Your colours, fonts and logo, not ours

Set the theme in Studio and preview it live: colours, fonts, logo, category colours and route styling. It is published with the map, so the kiosk, the phone and the embed on your website all look the same. Each industry pack starts from its own theme preset.

Put the same map on your website or intranet

An iframe gets the map onto any page. JavaScript messages let your page react when a visitor picks a place, or ask the map to show one. Messages only pass between the map and the exact origin you embed it on. 

<iframe
  src="https://maps.wayvale-hospital.example/embed/wayvale-general"
  title="Wayvale General Hospital map"
  width="100%" height="640"></iframe>

<script>
  const MAP = 'https://maps.wayvale-hospital.example';
  const frame = document.querySelector('iframe');

  // The map tells your page what the visitor did.
  window.addEventListener('message', (e) => {
    if (e.origin !== MAP) return;
    if (e.data.type === 'unit_selected') showOpeningTimes(e.data);
  });

  // Your page asks the map to show a place.
  frame.contentWindow.postMessage(
    { type: 'select_unit', unit: 'cardiology' }, MAP);
</script>
The message names come from the Wayfinder’s embed contract. The URL and the field names are illustrative; your developers get the full reference at setup.

One app for a phone in the car park and a 4K kiosk in the atrium

The layout follows the screen: a bottom sheet on phones, a sidebar on desktops, and dedicated portrait and landscape kiosk layouts. The 3D map adapts its rendering to the processor it finds, so a modest Android board stays smooth and a 4K panel stays sharp.

Screen outlines drawn to the same scale: 4K landscape 3840 by 2160, 4K portrait 2160 by 3840, Full HD landscape 1920 by 1080, Full HD portrait 1080 by 1920, and a phone at 390 by 844. 3840 × 2160 4K landscape 2160 × 3840 4K portrait 1920 × 1080 Full HD landscape 1080 × 1920 Full HD portrait 390 × 844 Phone Screen outlines drawn to the same scale: 4K landscape 3840 by 2160, 4K portrait 2160 by 3840, Full HD landscape 1920 by 1080, Full HD portrait 1080 by 1920, and a phone at 390 by 844. 3840 × 2160 4K landscape 2160 × 3840 4K portrait 1920 × 1080 Full HD landscape 1080 × 1920 Full HD portrait 390 × 844 Phone

39 of 39 display checks passed at Full HD and 4K, in portrait and landscape, in Chrome on 21 October 2026. That was our own testing on a demonstration venue, not a customer site, and it does not certify any kiosk hardware.

What the Wayfinder does not do today

We would rather you hear it from us than find out in a pilot.

  • A blue dot that follows the visitor’s phone

    Not built in. Phone positioning is a commissioned pilot with accuracy measured on your site, and on iPhone it would need a native app we don’t have yet. Kiosks and the QR hand-off give every route a known start today.

    How indoor positioning works in DigiMaps

  • Voice search

    Listen reads directions aloud, but visitors can’t search by voice.

  • AR overlays through the camera

    Not part of the product today.

  • Photoreal 3D capture

    On our roadmap as a premium, commissioned layer. Not available today.

Questions about the Wayfinder

Do visitors need to install an app?

No. The Wayfinder is a web page. It opens in the phone’s browser from a kiosk QR code, a link or your website, with no app and no sign-up. Desktops get the same map with a sidebar.

Will the 3D map run on older phones and kiosk boards?

The map picks a low, mid or high rendering tier from the graphics chip, memory and browser it finds, so a 2 GB Android board and a 4K panel each get settings they can handle. It needs WebGL 2. We test your kiosk hardware on site before go-live.

Does it work offline?

Yes, after one online visit. The app, the venue map, 3D assets and fonts are cached on the device, so search and directions keep working when the Wi-Fi drops. Live notices need a connection, and statistics queue on the device until it returns.

Is there a blue dot that follows the visitor indoors?

Not out of the box. Kiosks have a fixed “You are here” point, and the QR hand-off keeps that start on the phone. Phone positioning is a commissioned pilot: we survey your venue and report the accuracy measured on site. If you already have a positioning provider, DigiMaps accepts external position feeds through a documented API.

Which languages does the Wayfinder speak?

The interface ships in English, Arabic, Russian and Chinese, with full right-to-left layout for Arabic. You can add other venue languages, and your team approves every translation before it goes live. Search folds Arabic letter forms, so different spellings find the same place.

Can we put the map on our own website or app?

Yes. Embed it with an iframe and talk to it with JavaScript messages restricted to your site’s exact origin. A JavaScript SDK for plain JavaScript, React and a web component is available on request; it is not on npm yet. Native mobile SDKs are on the roadmap.
