Interactive maps
What are interactive maps?
Interactive maps are digital floor plans of an office that show meeting rooms, desks and other spaces, often with live availability. People can see what is free, where it is and, when the map is connected to the booking system, book the space straight from the map.
Why interactive maps matter
A list of room names only helps people who already know the building. A map shows the space in context: which room is next to the team, which desk area is quiet, which floor has free rooms right now. That matters most in hybrid offices where people do not sit in the same place every day.
What to look for
- Live free and busy status for rooms and desks
- A date picker to check availability for another day
- Booking directly from the map
- Maps that cover every floor and building you manage
How AskCody handles interactive maps
AskCody Maps shows interactive maps of offices, meeting rooms and desk areas. Spaces are color coded as open, occupied or not bookable, and people can reserve desks and meeting rooms directly in the map view, with the bookings kept in sync with Outlook.
Frequently asked questions
Are interactive maps the same as wayfinding?
Interactive maps are one of the main tools for wayfinding. Wayfinding is the broader goal of helping people find their way.
Do interactive maps need sensors?
No. Maps can show availability from bookings. Sensors are an optional extra source of occupancy data.
