Indoor mapping software for Australian shopping centres, stadiums and campuses

Spatial Map is built for teams that cannot all be in the same building. Upload a DWG (AutoCAD R2004 to R2018), which is placed at true size in metres or millimetres, or a PDF sheet, matched to its paper size so you can pick the scale or enter a known width. Scanned PNG or JPG plans work too. DXF needs to be saved as DWG or plotted to PDF. Our indoor mapping software page covers the general workflow.

If you would rather not draw it yourselves, our services team maps the building from your plans and connects your data as a fixed-price custom service, usually with a proposal within three business days. Reviews happen over video call with the map on screen, so a centre in Perth and a stakeholder in Sydney see the same thing at the same time.

Large Australian shopping centres combine department-store anchors, supermarkets, specialty shops, food courts and several car park levels, joined by escalators and lifts. Centre management needs more than the shopper directory: loading docks and service corridors, vacant tenancies, fit-out works in progress and footfall by entrance. Each tenancy is an area on the map, and a simple status table — trading, in fit-out, vacant — colours it for leasing and operations, while footfall from your people counters can show as a heatmap by entrance or mall.

For a group with centres in several states, every centre is a facility in one workspace, and the Retail Mart demo shows the multi-level pattern: three floors around an escalator core and lifts.

Sports precincts bring together a stadium, indoor arenas, training facilities and car parks, and event days add hundreds of casual staff who may never have worked the venue before. The Crown Park demo maps 30,513 seats across two concourses, with gates, turnstiles, concessions and safety points bound to live data. A share link per event gives casual staff and contractors the layers they need on their phone; the Navigate button builds turn-by-turn walking routes around walls and through doors on one floor, with lifts and stairs shown by icon for changing level.

Universities often run a main campus plus satellite and regional campuses. Each building becomes a facility, and solutions group them by campus or faculty, so an estates team in one city can manage teaching rooms, labs and equipment in another — the Westbrook demo shows labs, equipment bookings and chemical stores on two floors.

Convention centres host organisers and exhibitors from interstate and overseas. Halls, docks and registration stay fixed while booth blocks change per event, and the organiser gets a read-only link to their own show. Airport terminals follow the same idea at a larger scale: check-in, security, gates and reclaim drawn once, with queues and crowding on top, as in the Silverbay demo.

Contractors in Australia are often not local: a fire-services contractor from another state, an audiovisual crew touring the convention circuit, a fit-out company working across several centres. A read-only share link gives them the floors and layers you choose without an account in your workspace, with an expiry date, a view cap and the option to revoke it when the job ends.

Indoor maps usually carry building data, not personal data, and share-link viewers do not sign up. Footfall and crowd counts from people counters are normally aggregate. If you link map data to identifiable people, the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles are the context to review with your legal advisers; our DPA describes how Spatial Map processes your data.
