Map connections are pathways in multi-floor and multi-building maps that enable vertical or horizontal movement between levels, spaces or buildings. They include stairs, elevators, and escalators, providing essential links for seamless navigation and spatial continuity across the map. The Mappedin.Connection includes details such as name, description, floors, coordinates and more.

Mappedin.Connection contains an array of coordinates, with each coordinate representing the location of the connection on a specific floor. In the case of an elevator, each coordinate would have latitude and longitude values that are the same with different floorIds. Stairs may have coordinates with the same or different latitude and longitude values on each floor, depending on whether a building's stairs are vertically aligned.

The following code snippet retrieves all connections from the map.

const connections = mapData.getByType("connection");
