A
Access node
A node connecting a POI to the routing network.
B
Building
A structure within the venue, made up of one or more floors.
C
CMS
The Content Management System. In VisioMapEditor, this is the "Content" tab, used to manage names,descriptions, categories, and translations for your POIs.
D
Draft version
A preview version of your published map (hash prefixed with "dev-"), used for testing before going live.
E
Edge
A segment of the routing network connecting two nodes. Modalities are assigned to edges.
F
Floor transition node
A node allowing users to be guided from one floor to another (via elevator, escalator, stairs, or anunknown/outside transition).
Footprint
A surface using the "footprint" style, used to define the default zoom level for a building or the outside. Alsoused as the basis for geofencing zones.
I
ID
A unique identifier (letters, numbers, and a few special characters) given to an element to turn it into a POI.
Intersection node
A node marked to trigger directional instructions ("turn left/right") in the final application.
L
Label
Dynamic text tied to a POI's ID, displaying the name given to that POI in the CMS. Updates automatically ifthe name changes.
Legend
Static text that doesn't change over time (e.g., a street name).
Live version
The version of your map currently available in your production application.
Locale
A language/region variant used to manage translated content for your POIs.
LOD (Level of Detail)
A display mode showing more or less detail depending on camera distance. LOD1 shows all surfaces of afloor; LOD0 shows a simplified surface (usually the outer walls), used when floors are stacked or viewedfrom far away.
M
Modality
A mode of transport or user type (pedestrian, car, bus...) that can be assigned to routing edges.
N
Node
A point in the routing network. Can be a simple direction-change node, an access node, an intersectionnode, or a floor transition node.
O
Outside
The exterior view of the venue, shown by default when the map loads.
P
POF (Point of Focus)
A directional marker attached to an identified element (surface, icon, footprint) that defines the camera'srotation/orientation when a user opens the map or interacts with that element.
POI (Point of Interest)
Any map element that has been given a unique ID, making it interactive (clickable, searchable, usable as arouting destination). Also called a "Place".
PRM
A mode of accessible routing for users with reduced mobility. Enabled by default in the SDK, it excludesescalators and stairs from the proposed routes.
T
Target
A deployment destination for your map (an app, a website...), each with its own hash key.
V
Venue
The overall site being mapped (a mall, airport, campus...).
Z
Z-Fight
A visual glitch (flickering/aliasing) that occurs when two surfaces with the same extrusion height overlap orshare an edge.
