Best Practices​

  • Responsive Design: Ensure Mappedin content is displayed appropriately according to different screen sizes.
  • Touch Optimization: Test touch screen functionality directly on display hardware to ensure optimal user experience with responsiveness and interactive elements.
  • Network Connectivity: For locations with unreliable internet, consider enabling offline capabilities for your Mappedin configuration.
  • Performance: Optimize for the hardware specifications of your digital signage devices.

Troubleshooting​

  • If the map doesn't appear, verify your URL is correct and the content is published.
  • For touch interaction issues, ensure the Omnivex Ink system is configured to pass touch events to the web component.
  • For display scaling issues, check both the Omnivex canvas settings and diplay layouts.
