Cutting-Edge Indoor Navigation Solutions

An indoor navigation system uses various technologies and techniques to help users navigate and orient themselves inside buildings or enclosed spaces where GPS signals are weak or nonexistent. Systems use a combination of technologies and techniques such as beacons, Wi-Fi, inertial measurement units, machine learning algorithms and mapping and localization software.

Mapsted’s indoor navigation app provides indoor maps of a variety of public buildings, such as airports, shopping malls, hospitals and museums and allows users to navigate these spaces using their smartphones.

Users can access indoor navigation in different ways, depending on the specific indoor navigation system being used. Common methods include smartphones and tablets, websites, kiosks or signage and wearable devices.

Indoor navigation can help businesses create a more positive and engaging experience for their customers, leading to increased satisfaction and loyalty. Indoor navigation makes it easier to find products and services; can provide personalized recommendations based on a customer's location and browsing history; and can reduce wait times.

There are several benefits of having an indoor navigation system, some of which include improved customer experiences, increased foot traffic and sales, better use of indoor spaces, enhanced safety and security, improved efficiency and cost savings.

Mapsted’s patented technology is the best in the indoor mapping and navigation services market with no need of additional equipment or hardware. The solutions offered are also seamless, scalable and accurate - deploying horizontal and vertical positioning, as well as multi-building positioning, helping users across outdoor-indoor environments.

Both indoor navigation and positioning systems are two different technologies that work in parallel to generate a seamless wayfinding experience for the user. With positioning, the user will be pinpointed to that destination from their current location, while navigation helps them stay on the course while moving toward the destination.
