Hi Fawad, Hi all,
Hi everyone,
Hope all of you are all right.
I am working on the implementation of Indoor Maps. For that, there are several options
for adaptation. So I need your suggestions.
The first question is how would the users be using the indoor maps?
- Would they be using images for each level?
- Would they prefer to have a normal map and add shape-like objects to it?
- Or would they like a mixture of both i.e. a normal map with images as levels?
For a normal map with multilevel structures - we can use
https://github.com/cbaines/leaflet-indoor
For using only images - we can make use of
https://leafletjs.com/examples/crs-simple/crs-simple.html
What do you think would be best considering the map's user base?
Initially I thought about images since many fair organizers provide PDF plans that could
be converted into images, but on second thoughts, starting primarily with shapes could be
even better in terms of user experience imho. Nothing prevents from adding images in
addition in the future, if some users prefer that approach, or a mix as you suggest.
This kind of experience is quite inspirational in particular (it's close to the
leaflet-indoor example that you pointed out):

That's a question you may consider asking on the forum as well to gather more inputs?
Cheers

Best,
Fawad
