Key features
Easy win: reduce attendee questions
Parking and entrance questions make up the bulk of event-day messages. Pinning those spots with clear labels and notes cuts support volume and makes your event feel better organized.
Add a “Parking” group and pin 3–6 lots with pricing notes
Add “Entrances” pins and label them exactly like the signage
Put the map link on your ticket email + event page
How to set up
What to put in each pin
Each pin should give attendees exactly the info they need in the moment -- no more, no less. Keep descriptions short and match the language people will see on signs and tickets.
Short title that matches signage (“Gate A”, “Parking Lot 3”)
1–2 lines of guidance (“Use this entrance after 6pm”)
Link CTA if needed (tickets, venue rules, RSVP page)
Next steps
Before you publish (small details that matter)
A quick round of testing from a phone at the actual venue can catch problems you'd never see on your laptop. These last-minute checks make the difference between a map that works and one that frustrates.
Test from the venue’s Wi‑Fi + mobile data
Make sure pins aren't hidden by clusters at the default zoom
Put the map link in ticket email + SMS + event page footer
