# Visitor Banner The visitor banner displays a short message at the bottom of the viewer for all visitors. Use it for wayfinding tips, welcome messages, or time-sensitive notices. ## Enabling the banner 1. Go to your map's **Settings** page 2. Toggle on **Show banner to visitors** 3. Type your message in the **Banner text** field (120 characters max) 4. Click **Save banner** The banner appears immediately on the viewer for anyone who opens the map link. ## What it looks like The banner appears as a semi-transparent bar at the bottom of the map screen. It's visible as soon as the map loads, so it's a good place for information visitors need right away. ## Tips * Keep it short — 120 characters is the limit, and shorter messages are easier to read at a glance on mobile * Good uses: "Welcome! Restrooms are near the Main Entrance." / "Event ends at 6 PM. Last entry at 5:30 PM." / "Download our app for the full schedule." * Disable the banner when it's no longer relevant — toggle it off in Settings ## Preview The Settings page shows a live preview of how the banner will look on the map as you type. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
