The Virtual Tour mini-map has been redesigned to make navigating a property cleaner and more intuitive, especially for properties with lots of panoramas.
Instead of showing every panorama as an individual point on the floor plan, visitors can now click anywhere inside a room to move directly to the nearest available panorama.

New Mini Map
This means you can capture properties with as many panoramas as needed for richer media, without making the Virtual Tour mini-map increasingly cluttered.
How to navigate using the mini-map
Open a Virtual Tour.
Find the room you want to visit on the mini-map.
Click anywhere inside the room's floor-plan area.
The Virtual Tour will move to the nearest available panorama within that room.
Rooms without an available panorama are shown as unavailable on the mini-map. This is clearly marked.
A cleaner experience for properties with more panoramas
Previously, each panorama was displayed as an individual point on the mini-map. Properties with a high number of closely spaced panoramas could therefore make the mini-map more difficult to navigate.
With the redesigned mini-map, navigation is now room-based rather than panorama-based. The number of panoramas captured no longer directly affects the number of markers displayed on the mini-map.
This allows you to capture more densely when needed for richer downstream media, while visitors continue to get a simple and easy-to-use navigation experience.
