Systems, methods and computer-readable media for connecting map units in a digital wayfinding map

A computer-implemented method for connecting a plurality of map units of a digital wayfinding map, the method comprising, by a processor:

• accessing the plurality of map units, each of the plurality of map units comprising at least one of a plurality of nodes;
• receiving a plurality of portal nodes arranged on at least two of the plurality of map units;
• receiving at least one connection element configured to indicate a connection between at least two of the plurality of map units through at least two of the plurality of portal nodes;
• and
• generate at least one multi-unit route between at least two of the plurality of nodes of the at least two map units using the at least one connection element.

A computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code configured to connect a plurality of map units of a digital wayfinding map embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code comprising:

• computer-readable program code configured to access the plurality of map units, each of the plurality of map units comprising at least one of a plurality of nodes;
• computer-readable program code configured to receive a plurality of portal nodes arranged on at least two of the plurality of map units;
• computer-readable program code configured to receive at least one connection element configured to indicate a connection between at least two of the plurality of map units through at least two of the plurality of portal nodes;
• and
• computer-readable program code configured to generate at least one multi-unit route between at least two of the plurality of nodes of the at least two map units using the at least one connection element.
