What is a virtual tour map overlay?
A virtual tour map overlay (otherwise known as a custom tour) is a ‘layer’ that sits on top of your virtual tour giving the user a navigational guide around large spaces. We recommend this for very large spaces, hotels, shopping centres, stadiums, although this can be used for any business type.
We can add information hot spots, popup boxes, navigational menus, video clips, online statistics and many more extras. The overlay is then embedded on your website where you can share with customers to view.

What more does a map overlay bring?
A virtual tour map overlay isn’t only a branding exercise, they bring a host of other features and analytics to learn from too.
Advanced navigation
A Menu Overlay allows you to showcase different areas of your venue – a hotel, large retailer or historic building, for example – and display this on a menu on your tour with direct links to those specific areas. Advanced navigation options allow viewers to jump straight to wherever they want to go, encouraging them to stay on your tour for longer and view features you particularly want them to see.
Hotspots
Hotspots are pop-up windows which present extra information to viewers about what they’re seeing in your tour. You decide where you want these to appear, the format they take, and the details you want them to give. You can also include images, videos, and links to other web content too – perhaps an online form, coupon, reservation page or shopping basket.
Analytics
How many people are visiting your tour? How long are they staying? What areas are they looking at? Which products or services are the most appealing? Our Analytics gives you all of this information and more, providing you with valuable statistics to help your business.
Easy embedding
The custom menu overlay will sit on your website and is easily shareable to your clients and social platforms. We can liaise with your web team to do this, as we will supply you with a short piece of code.
