Hi all,
One concern in using the leaflet-indoor is that the indoor structures might
not physically exist.
For example, if an engineer prepares a model for a house and wants to
represent the structure in an independent environment then he will prefer
the image as map tiles. (

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?
