# Maps

Add locations related to your event

## How to add directions to the event?

Give your event participants good orientation in the area with a map that highlights important and interesting places. The **Maps** feature is built on Google Maps, which lets participants use GPS navigation to the selected point.

## Adding categories

If you want to add new places, you first need to create a category for them, meaning a group that indicates the type, e.g. restaurants, tourist attractions, or parking lots.

In the top menu, choose the **Create** section, then on the left side select the **Maps** module. To add a new category, click **(+) Add New Category** and give it a name in all language layers:

## Adding places on the map

To add a new place on the map, press the **(+) Add Place** button in the selected category.

Name the pin and assign it an **Address**. To do this, you can either choose one of the suggestions that appear below or type the full address and point to the correct place manually:

-   If you choose one of Google’s suggestions that appear under the **Address** field, the pin will automatically move to the target location
    
-   If, while typing the address, you don’t get precise locations, use the Plus Code in Google Maps:

For each created object, you can add a website address, a description, and a photo. These elements are meant to help participants correctly identify the place, as well as get additional information or make it easier to reserve a spot.

Each pin can look different on the map. You can set the appearance of the pin using a simple color and icon editor. Choose one of the available icons and set the color scheme for each element:

> **Success:** To avoid too much variety, set a similar color theme for pins in the same category. By repeating the same color combinations, it will be easier to highlight the key pin, which will be the only one that looks different.

### Effect for the user

## Visibility of the module and/or category for a selected user group

Editing visibility in the **Venues** module lets you subtly distribute dedicated data, such as VIP parking or the evening party location for a closed guest list. You can set a user group for the entire module or for specific categories within the module.

To create objects with access limited to a selected user group, you first need to prepare tags of the **user\_group** type. You can find a detailed guide in the article: [Zarządzanie treściami w aplikacji – Tag Database](https://help.meetingapplication.com/pl/articles/4843445-tag-database-zarzadzanie-trescia-aplikacji.md).

After creating tags in the **Tag Database** section, from **Create > Content** choose the **Venues** module from the menu on the right side. In the window that appears, go to the module settings by clicking the three dots located to the right of the name. Then choose **Choose User Group** from the dropdown list:

After opening the window on the right side of the screen, select the previously created **user\_grup** tags that you want to assign to this module:

To change the visibility of specific categories, go to edit the **user\_groups** tags assigned to them. To do this, click the three dots located to the right of the category name, and then select **Edit User Groups** from the dropdown list to change the settings for the chosen category:

After opening the window on the right side of the screen, select the previously created **user\_grup** tags that you want to assign to the selected category within the module.

**ATTENTION!**

From now on, newly created categories will automatically include all tags added to the module. Remember to remove the **All users** tag from the category intended only for a specific user group, e.g. for the VIP group:

> **Info:** Clicking the left mouse button and holding the selected category will let you drag it to another place on the list, thus changing the order of categories displayed in the mobile app.

**Have a great event with Meeting Application!**
