Enabling Map Viewer Hardware For Map Routing - On Site Installation Instructions1. Background In Q4 of 2025, GoBright launched a new routing feature for their mapping solution. This is for live directions to resources (rooms, desks, parking. lockers and spaces) on map viewers.2. TestingThe tech team at Ascentae have worked alongside the GoBright team and tested this extensively, and we're impressed with the functionality. This is a great addition to the GoBright platform.3. CommissioningIf you have purchased a commissioning package with us, we'll configure the portal remotely. However, there are some steps that on-site engineers will need to perform which cannot be carried out remotely. Please see sections 4 & 5.4. Important Info & Key PointsOnly V2 of the Map Viewer supports this functionality. If you're running V1, you'll need to switch.The Map Viewer must support WebView (enabled in developer mode).We'll guide you through this in the next section.5. Enabling WebView & V2This is a simple procedure and needs to be carried out in the Android settings on the device. Let's walk you through the steps.A) Close the GoBright application — instructions are here.B) Scroll down to the Application section and keep tapping Current Version until it says 'you're now a developer'.C) On the same page, look for Developer Tools and select Browser. Change the browser to WebView. If it's stuck on loading, don't worry. Press settings and reboot the panel from the options menu. Now that we've updated to WebView, let's flick the switch to the V2 of the map viewer.Switching to V2A) Log in to your GoBright portal here.B) Head to Settings > Devices > Profiles. Look for the Map Viewer profile — this is clear as it will show as a Map Viewer Display in the Type column. Select this profileC) Scroll down to the Map Viewer section and make sure the theme is set to Version 2. If the device is stuck on loading again after saving the changes, please reboot the unit.The Mobile AppAs of the 19th of January 2026, GoBright added their map routing solution on both Apple and Android devices that have their app installed.The GoBright app is available for free on both platforms. Just check out the relevant store for your device.A live working example:

You must have Integration configured on your portal in order to set this up.If you do not have integration, please speak to your account manager for pricing.In February 2025, GoBright expanded their integration options. Rooms can already be linked to a room resource email address in O365 - but now desks and parking can be configured in the same way too.Each desk / parking space needs to be linked to a resource email address in your O365 environment. For example:  Once the resources are configured, they need to be setup in GoBright.DesksOn the GoBright portal head to Settings > Work and select the relevant desk you need to update. You need to change 'no integration' to the relevant name of the Integration you have configured. ParkingThe same as the above applies for parking, but can be found under Settings > Park.Once Microsoft and GoBright have synced, you can book directly from Outlook.For example, you can book an office, desk and a parking space via Outlook at the same time:And this will update both your calendar and the calendar for the room(s).The update is pushed to the GoBright portal. For example:If you have Teams integration enabled, the link is automatically added to the invite for the calendar of the person booking the room and also the rooms resource itself. If you have any questions, please contact support@ascentae.com for assistance. 

Now if a meeting is canceled, updated or even edited, notifications are here. If you're the one making the change, you know the notification has been sent.  This new feature will help with: Reducing time Eliminate miscommunication Collaboration with colleagues  We understand that sometimes you may book a resource in advance, but a last-minute surprise gets in the way, and you no longer need the booking. Let's Look at the Steps... Room Bookings Head to Settings > Meet > Profiles: Desk & Parking Bookings The above process is the same but: Desks = Settings > Work > ProfilesParking = Settings > Park > Profiles This is a simple yet powerful improvement to the GoBright platform.      li { list-style-type: circle; }
