Indoor Map NameAlt

Question

Hi, I would like to ask if there is a way on how to display the nameAlt of a unit instead of the unit label in displaying the indoor map.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/drawing-package-guide
In the drawing package guide, it shows the unit label but how can we also display the nameAlt?

Answer 1

Found a way to override the name of the units by using setLayoutProperty.
the text-field on default uses the {name} of the units so I replaced it using the {nameAlt} after loading the maps

See code below:

    map.events.add('load', function (e) {
        //Used the load event to get all the layers, including the layers for indoor maps.
        //Set the nameAlt in the text-field instead of name in indoor_global_unit_label
        map.map.setLayoutProperty('microsoft.maps.indoor.labels_indoor.indoor_global_unit_label', 'text-field', '{nameAlt}');
    });

@Llavore, Vans Apologies for the delay in response.

Below is an update from our product team on this query. Hope this helps.

The display name is handled by the SDK and currently there is no way to override that.
