Search Inside Maps With Mapsted’s Smart Search Capabilities

Inside maps typically refer to digital maps or floor plans specifically designed for indoor spaces. Inside maps are often used in indoor positioning systems (IPS) or indoor navigation applications to help users navigate and locate specific points of interest within large indoor spaces. These maps may include information about corridors, rooms, elevators, stairs, restrooms, exits, shops, or other amenities within a building. They may also incorporate additional data, such as real-time location tracking, turn-by-turn directions, or interactive features to enhance the navigation experience.

An indoor map is a digital representation of the layout and features of an indoor space, such as a building, venue, or facility. It provides a detailed visual depiction of the interior structure, including rooms, corridors, entrances, exits, stairs, elevators, and various points of interest within the space. Indoor maps are designed to help people navigate and orient themselves within large or complex indoor environments. They can be accessed through mobile applications, websites, or specialized software that utilize location technologies to provide indoor positioning and navigation capabilities. The key features of an indoor map typically include floor plan, points of interest, pathways and navigation and interactive features.

Indoor location technology refers to the use of various technologies and techniques to determine and track the position of individuals or objects within indoor environments where traditional GPS (Global Positioning System) signals may be limited or unavailable. While GPS is widely used for outdoor positioning, it typically struggles to provide accurate location information indoors due to signal blockage by buildings and other obstacles. Indoor location technology utilizes different methods to overcome these limitations and enable precise indoor positioning. Mapsted’s scalable, intelligent location-based system has a one to three-metre accuracy and doesn’t require external hardware so there are no installation or maintenance costs.

Location-based inside maps combine indoor mapping with positioning technologies to provide users with real-time location information within indoor spaces.

Location-based inside maps offer several benefits to users, businesses, and organizations within indoor environments. Some key advantages include improved navigation, enhanced wayfinding, discovering points of interest, personalized experiences, efficient facility management, safety and emergency management, data insights and integration with services.
