Engrain Launches Pathfinding for SightMap, Enabling Navigation Within Apartment Communities

DENVER, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Engrain, a recognized leader in next-generation interactive touring technology and map-based data visualization software for rental housing, today announced the release of pathfinding, a new feature within SightMap, that enables real-time navigation and distance-based insights within apartment communities. Pathfinding transforms property maps into guided experiences - helping renters, guests, and teams move through properties with confidence.

Operators and technology partners can generate accurate routes between apartments, amenities, parking, and entrances from within SightMap or in third party applications. The feature powers prospect tours, accessibility-aware navigation, operational planning, delivery and location-based insights, all from the same map.

Routing information can be added to existing or new property maps based on architect plans or on site surveys. Operators and on site teams can share the routing with anyone visiting the property, and provide distance data for revenue management, marketing, and operations use cases.

Routing data is used to:

"Pathfinding unlocks the full potential of visual maps, connecting geospatial insight to real-world navigation," said Brent Steiner, founder and CEO of Engrain. "It helps people get where they're going - whether that's a prospect on a tour, a resident moving in, or a sub contractor navigating the property. It gives operators better insight into how location and distance impact the renter experience."

Engrain is working with product leaders in self-guided touring, maintenance, and resident services products to add pathfinding within their products, bringing turn-by-turn navigation directly to users. The feature is designed to support a broad ecosystem of multifamily technology providers. An SDK and APIs are available to Engrain partners to begin building routing into their products today.
