Create and customize a welcome pop-in or introduction map

A user can quickly feel lost on a map with a lot of content.

To avoid this, we have developed a customizable welcome module: it opens when the user lands on a map and invites them to choose their preferences to filter the content on the map.

🔛 Enable the welcome pop-in from Wemap Pro

Go to your map
Go to the "Layout, controls and map launch" menu
Check the "Enabled" option in the "Introduction card" section

🪄 Customize the pop-in

Click on "Customize": a window appears to customize the pop-in content
Customize it:

Header (cover) and icon: import the visuals of your choice to dress your pop-in
Title: enter the pop-in title
HTML content: add a description if you wish

💡 Tips:

The ideal dimensions for importing a visual are as follows:

Header (banner): 400 x 133 px
Icon: 60 x 60 px

For the description, you can use html tags to format and style your information, add links, images and even embed a video.

Add search modules / filters:

Enable the relevant module(s)
Customize the module title and description

Example: for the "Tags" module, you can change "Set your preferences" and "Choose one or more themes" as you wish.
Once customized, when the user clicks on the module (screenshot 1), a new window appears to refine your search (screenshot 2).

Module presentation:

Tags: allows you to search by keywords according to a list of tags defined for your map.

Where: allows the user to select an address via a search engine to center the map on a city.

When: allows you to display a calendar to select dates.

Around me: displays points located around the user's geographical position
