# Merging Maps without Overlap
## Steps of creating MapSet
### 1. Capture individual maps
The first step is to capture individual sections independently in multiple sessions.\
For large scale, you can have multiple people mapping different areas of a venue at the same time, which can be merged later.This is helpful when you want to capture large venues in a short period of time.
\
Overlap between individual maps is recommended, but it's not mandatory, as we can merge maps without overlaps too.\
The ideal capture duration for an individual section could be up to 5 minutes.
### 2. Merge the first pair of maps together.
Select a Map from the list by pressing on (...) and then choose the "Merge Map" option
### 3. Choose a map that you want to merge into this Map.
Choose a map from the list of the maps that you have created so far to be merged.
{% hint style="info" %}
Maps can only be merged after processing is completed
{% endhint %}
### 4. Perform localization in both maps in the correct order
Localize in maps that you want to merge by following the on-screen instructions, start by localizing in the first map, then walk to the next map, and localize.\
Post successful localization of both maps, you will see a success pop-up and you can enter the name of your MapSet
### 5. View your Mapsets in-app or developer portal.
After successfully merging the first pairs of maps in-app, you can test the localization in the combined map as MapSet\
See the list of MapSet under the new tab and then select a MapSet to either test localization or extend MapSet further
In the Developer Portal, you should be able to view the combined maps meshes together as shown below
{% hint style="danger" %}
If there is any error in the MapSet merging process you will notice that individual meshes are not merged together well, in this case you have to remove that individual map and add it back in MapSet
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://multiset.gitbook.io/multiset/basics/mapset-multiple-maps/merging-maps-without-overlap.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
