New-Map
Use the New-Map cmdlet to import floorplans (maps) for a building. To add your floorplans to Microsoft Places, you'll need files in the IMDF format, with spatial information properly correlated to your building data, and georeferenced. For requirements on IMDF files and for instructions on correlation, see Setting up maps in Places.
Tip
The New-Map cmdlet is part of the map onboarding workflow. It is recommended to read map onboarding documentation first and follow the step-by-step guide there to configure floorplans.
Syntax
New-Map -BuildingId <BuildingPlaceId> -FilePath "[path\to\your\imdf_correlated.zip]"
Description
Before you upload your floorplans, you need to make sure:
- Buildings and floors are configured in Places Directory
- IMDF files meet Microsoft Places requirements
- Map features in the IMDF files are correlated with Places Directory buildings/floors/rooms
See Configure buildings and floors for instructions.
Note
New maps may take up to 1 hour to be reflected in Microsoft Places.
You can only upload data for one building at a time. To upload another building, you should follow the process again for that new building.
