MapsAlive Provides Guidance Every Step of the Way
A new program always takes some getting used to, but MapsAlive makes it easy. From creating your first tour to working with advanced features, you’ll find instructions and guidance to help you.
Step-by-step Instructions
Built-in step-by-step instructions automatically display when creating your first tour to help you get started right away.
When you create your first interactive map (or your second, or third…) you can follow the step-by-step instructions to upload a map image, add hotspots, and preview your tour. We even provide sample maps and photos you can use. You’ll have a working interactive map in minutes!
Tour Builder Quick Help
Throughout the Tour Builder, on every screen, for every option, Quick Help icons (an “i” inside an oval) provide detailed information about the option. In the screenshot below, the red arrows point to some of the Quick Help icons on the Popup Behavior screen.
Tour Advisor
While viewing your interactive map in Tour Preview, the Tour Advisor offers helpful suggestions for ways to improve your tour. For example, the Tour Advisor lets you know that some of the hotspots you have added to your tour have not been placed on the map, or that some hotspots don’t have images.
