It enables turn-by-turn guidance across complex property layouts—including interiors, exteriors, and multi-floor transitions—ensuring users can navigate unfamiliar environments with confidence. ## What You Can Build * **Easy On-Property Navigation:** Help visitors, contractors, and new residents find their way from parking garages directly to specific apartments, community centers, or main offices without needing to stop and ask for directions. * **Efficient Maintenance Workflows:** Group maintenance tasks together to create the fastest route across large properties. This cuts down on walking time for repair crews, inspectors, and cleaning staff. * **Faster Deliveries:** Connect accurate indoor and outdoor routing directly to delivery and mail carrier apps. This helps drivers find hard-to-locate apartment numbers quickly and speeds up package drop-offs. * **Accessible Routes:** Create custom paths for people with limited mobility, such as routing a user toward elevators and wheelchair-friendly ramps while avoiding stairs or steep hills. * **Smoother Property Operations:** Save staff from constantly answering "Where do I go?" questions. By automating directions, management teams can focus on more important, hands-on tasks. We've set up two demo experiences of how routing functionality could be enabled with routing data and integrations: * The Milo (Mid-Rise) * The Milo (Garden-Style) ## Technical Capabilities You can build real-time navigation into your software using the Unit Map SDK and REST APIs. Developers can use our interactive testing environments to practice floor transitions, test unit highlighting, and check turn-by-turn logic before writing any official code.
### **Developer Deep-Dive** Ready to start building? For a comprehensive technical guide on programmatically handling routing logic, tracking states, and initializing trips, check out our [JS Navigation Documentation](https://developers.unitmap.com/docs/js-navigation).
* **Smart Multi-Stop Routes:** Automatically organize a list of destinations into the most efficient order. This is perfect for daily property inspections or a long list of maintenance requests. * **Multi-Floor Awareness:** The map system specifically tracks stairs, elevators, and breezeways so it can guide users seamlessly up and down different levels of a building. * **Custom Walking Modes:** Adjust how routes are calculated based on what a user needs: * **Default:** The fastest and most direct walking path. * **Stairs Only / Elevators Only:** Focuses on specific ways to move between floors (helpful when moving heavy equipment). * **Wheelchair Accessible:** Provides paths that are fully step-free and compliant with accessibility standards. * **Avoid Specific Areas:** Program the map to automatically route users away from temporary construction zones, closed areas, or staff-only spaces.
### Next Steps * **Implementation Guide:** Dive straight into the code with the [JS Navigation Guide](https://developers.unitmap.com/docs/js-navigation) to learn how to manage classes like `Trip`, `Maneuver`, and `LocationSelection`. * **Map Provisioning:** If you need to request maps or set up property configurations to support routing, visit the [Map Requests](https://developers.unitmap.com/docs/map-requests) overview.
