Unit Maps provide a visual, interactive layout of your units that guests can use during online booking to select their preferred space. Instead of choosing from a list, guests click on the map to select a specific unit.
Unit Maps are optional. If you do not set up a unit map, guests will select units from a list or grid view instead.
When to Use a Unit Map
Unit maps work best when:
Your units have distinct physical locations that guests would want to choose from (e.g., cabins spread across a property, slips along a dock).
Guests have a preference for a specific location (waterfront vs. interior, shaded vs. sunny, etc.).
You want to give guests a more visual, intuitive booking experience.
Creating a Unit Map
Navigate to Booking > Settings.
Select the Maps tile.
Select Add New.
Enter a Name for the map (e.g., "Cabin Property Map", "Kayak Dock Layout").
Upload or configure the background image for the map. This is typically a satellite view, property diagram, or hand-drawn layout of your facility.
Select Save.
After saving, you can position unit icons on the map.
Adding Units to the Map
Open the map you created.
Select Add Unit to place a unit on the map.
Select the unit from the drop-down list.
Drag the unit icon to its correct location on the map image.
Optionally, set a Map Caption — a short label that appears on the map icon (e.g., the unit name or number).
Repeat for all units you want to display on the map.
Select Save.
Assigning a Map to a Booking Type
After the map is created, assign it to the appropriate Booking Type so it appears on the online portal:
Navigate to Booking > Settings > Booking Types.
Select the Booking Type.
In the Map field, select your map.
Set Default View to Map if you want the map to be the first thing guests see after searching.
Select Save.
The Default View field controls whether guests land on the Map, List, or Grid view first — they can always switch between views manually.
Viewing the Map in the Back Office
Staff can view the unit map from Booking > Map. This view shows unit availability in real time — units with active reservations are highlighted differently from available units. Staff can select a unit to view or create a reservation directly from the map.
