Situm Mapping Tool allows you to test the wayfinding experience in your building. As a prerrequisite, you should have configured the Wayfinding Paths in Situm Dashboard (see next figure as an example).




Starting the route


Then, as shown in the following figure, you may select: (1) any Point of Interest (POI) on the map or the search bar, or (2) any point in the map by performing a long-press on that point (red marker will appear).  


Then, click on the Walker icon and the app will show (3). The shortest route to your destination (dotted line). See this article for more information on route types.






Turn by turn navigation and instructions


As shown in the following figure, (1) you will notice that the turn-by-turn instructions will be updated while you walk down the route. You may control most of this behaviour by setting the different parameters that control the turn-by-turn instructions.   


Furthermore, (2) the route path will also be updated as you walk down the route. If, for whatever reason, you go outside the navigation route, Situm Mapping Tool will recompute a new route automatically. You may control how the re-routing works by setting the different parameters that control it.

 




Arriving at your destination


At a certain point, you will arrive at your destination. Situm Mapping Tool lets you control how close you need to be from your destination to consider that you have arrived. As shown in the figure, (1) this can be set in the parameter "Distance to arrive destination" (Route and Navigation Settings Menu). This distance can be pictured (2) as an imaginary circle (green) around the location: if the destination lies within that circle, you have arrived and a message will be shown (3).
