I have a question regarding store parking lots within shopping malls.
I assume the shopping mall is mapped as an area and the individual stores are mapped with pins. In this case, is it better to check the “Parking Available” box and set a target point for each individual store as well?
Is it possible to link a shopping mall with its parking lot, or associate a shopping mall with the stores inside it?
If anyone is familiar with this, I would appreciate an answer.
Setting the road used to enter the store’s parking lot as the store’s destination point will make it easier for first-time visitors to find their way to the store without getting lost.
Also, for parking lots located across the street, by setting the parking lot itself as the destination point instead of the store, you can provide guidance directly to the parking lot without confusion.
It’s not uncommon for first-time visitors to get lost because they don’t know where the parking lot is. In some cases, they might even accidentally drive the wrong way.
Thank you for your response.
For example, if three entities—a shopping mall parking lot, the shopping mall, and a restaurant within it—are mapped, is it correct to understand that navigation destination points need to be set for each of the three facilities (parking lot, mall, and restaurant)?

That’s fine, but if there are several similar stores, the setup effort will increase.
Therefore, I think it’s best to set just one target on the road closest to the restaurant.
Understood. When registering multiple locations, I will try setting the target on the nearest road.

@Neo0717 If there are multiple entrances to the parking lot, I think it’s best to set target points for all the entrances that are likely to be used. You don’t need to specify entrances that are too far away; 2 or 3 nearby spots should be enough.
This way, whether you approach from an adjacent vertical or horizontal road, the navigation can end at the most suitable entrance.
