Floor by floor

A building you can read at a glance

Scroll — the live map on the right follows the story.

01

Every floor, built in 3D

Shops rise out of the floor plate with their names on the roofs. Escalators, glass lifts, planters, food-court tables and even the car park are modelled — so the map looks like the place.

02

Stacked, so nothing is hidden

One tap fans the whole building out into a 3D stack. Visitors see how floors relate — which level the cinema is on, where the lifts line up.

03

Routes that change floors

From the car park to a shop upstairs: the route draws itself across every floor it touches, with glowing risers where you take the escalator or lift.

04

Then fly through it

A cinematic preview follows the path turn by turn, rides the escalator between floors and lands at the door. Visitors know the way before they take a step.

05

Right up to the food court

Seating, counters and restaurants — every venue detail your visitors care about, on every level.

Product

Everything visitors need to find their way

The same polished experience on phones, desktops and kiosks — built to feel familiar from the first tap.

3D maps people understand

Extruded shops with names on the roofs, glass lifts, escalators, stairs, atriums, food-court tables, plants and parking — in your brand colours.

Turn-by-turn across floors

Routes that change floors by lift, escalator or stairs, with landmark directions like “Turn left at Zara”, arrival side and live ETA.

Step-free routes

One tap switches to accessible routing that avoids stairs and escalators — essential for hospitals, airports and public buildings.

Search & categories

Category grid, sub-category chips, opening hours, phone, website and a place card for every shop, gate, ward or desk.

Multi-language, white-label

English, Spanish and Hindi out of the box; more on request. Remove our branding and use your own colours and domain.

Works in any browser

No app to install. Share a link, print a QR code, or embed the map in your website, kiosk or mobile app.

Beacon-free positioning

Know where visitors are — without installing a single beacon

Beacons cost money to buy, install, power and replace. MakeMyAtlas uses what every visitor already carries.

Scan a “You are here” sign

Printed QR codes at entrances, lifts and junctions open the map with the blue dot exactly on the sign — using the phone camera or the in-map scanner.

Or tap the map

Visitors can simply choose their starting point, or pick a nearby shop as the origin.

Walk with me

Step detection and the phone compass move the dot along the route, snap it to corridors, recalculate if someone takes a wrong turn, and confirm floor changes at lifts.

How it works

From floor plans to a live map

You send what you have. We handle the rest.

  1. Send your files

    Any format your architect or facilities team already uses, plus a tenant or department list.

    DXFDWGIMDFGeoJSONSVGPDF/PNGCSV/Excel
  2. We build the 3D map

    Shops, corridors, lifts, escalators and amenities are mapped in the Venue Studio, and every route is tested automatically.

  3. Place QR signs

    A print-ready sheet of “You are here” codes, one for each entrance, lift lobby and key junction.

  4. Share & embed

    A link on your own domain, QR codes, kiosk screens, and an embed for your website or app.

One editor for every floor-plan format

Whatever goes in, the same clean venue model comes out — so the map always looks and behaves the same.

  • Import CAD layers, IMDF, GeoJSON, SVG or trace over an image
  • Merge a spreadsheet directory: hours, phones, categories
  • Draw lifts, escalators, stairs and 3D décor in minutes
  • “Check” tests a route to every single place
  • Print QR signs and publish with one click

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot

Do we need to install Bluetooth beacons?

No. Visitors set their position by scanning a “You are here” QR sign (or tapping the map), and “Walk with me” mode follows them using the phone’s own step counter and compass. There is no hardware to buy, power or maintain.

How accurate is the blue dot without beacons?

A QR scan puts the visitor exactly on the sign. While walking, step tracking is snapped to the route and corridors; it can drift over long distances, so we place QR signs at entrances, lifts and key junctions to re-anchor. For most wayfinding this is plenty — people need the next turn, not centimetres.

What do you need from us to build the map?

Whatever you already have: CAD drawings (DXF/DWG), IMDF, GeoJSON, SVG or PDF/PNG floor plans, plus a store or department list in a spreadsheet. We convert everything into one venue model in our Venue Studio.

Does it need an app?

No. The map runs in any modern mobile or desktop browser. You can also embed it in your website or existing app with an iframe or deep links.

Can we update shops and opening hours ourselves?

Yes. The Venue Studio lets your team edit names, categories, hours and positions, check that every place is reachable, and publish the update.

How long does it take?

For a typical mall floor with clean drawings, a first version is usually ready in days, not months — most of the time goes into checking names and categories with your team.
