There may be times when a map owner needs to let users know about changes, updates, or closures. To support this, we’ve created an announcement system that allows map owners to add, edit, and archive announcements. To see what this looks like for users with Alerts, check out the related article here.

Types of Announcements #

• Announcement

• Closure

• Other Information

• Warning

• Wheelchair Accessibility

Styles of Announcements #

• Constant: These are alerts that will remain visible until they are archived.
• Scheduled: These alerts have either a specific start date, end date, or both.
• Pop Ups: These alerts can be scheduled or constant and will display as a pop up when the user opens the map for the first time.
