Frequently Asked Questions

Indoor location determines and tracks the position of objects or individuals within an enclosed space, such as buildings, malls, airports or other structures. Unlike outdoor location tracking that relies on GPS signals, indoor location technologies utilize various methods to overcome the challenges of limited or absent GPS signals indoors.

Location sharing is voluntarily sharing your current or real-time location information with others. It involves allowing others to track or view your whereabouts for a specific time. Location sharing typically occurs through mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets, which have built-in GPS capabilities or utilize other positioning technologies.

There are several location sharing apps available that can be used for indoor purposes. The "best" app can vary depending on specific needs and preferences. However, Mapsted’s Maps framework offers several location sharing options so users can interact with family, friends or colleagues and it is one of the best systems on the market today. Send messages, pin contacts, locations, parking spots, coordinate meetings and know where members of your party are.

GPS technology relies on satellite signals to determine location, making it primarily designed for outdoor use where the GPS receiver has a clear line of sight to multiple satellites. GPS signals can be significantly weakened or completely blocked when indoors due to the obstruction caused by walls, roofs and other structures. Essentially, it’s not meant to be used inside.

Tracking indoor locations can be achieved using various technologies and methods such as Wi-Fi-based positioning, BLE beacons, inertial navigation, ultrasound or infrasound, computer vision and hybrid positioning. Mapsted’s system is hardware free, scalable with a one- to three-metre Blue Dot accuracy and has processing speeds of milliseconds. Clearly, our system is one of the best in the market.

An indoor location platform provides real-time navigation by using sensor-based positioning instead of GPS. It enables precise indoor mapping, helping users find meeting rooms, stores or other points of interest within large facilities.

Location sharing typically allows users to share their real-time position with others, while indoor location tracking focuses on continuously monitoring movement within an enclosed space to improve safety, efficiency and customer experiences.

Real-time location sharing enhances security by allowing organizations to track personnel in restricted areas, locate individuals during emergencies and monitor visitor movements in high-security environments.

Yes, some advanced indoor location sharing solutions, like Mapsted’s, operate without relying on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or beacons. They use AI-driven sensor fusion and existing mobile device data for accurate tracking.

Location sharing services help retailers personalize customer experiences by sending location-based promotions, guiding shoppers to products and analyzing movement patterns to optimize store layouts.
