The Latest Indoor Navigation Technology Works Where GPS is Irrelevant
Indoor navigation involves map reading within buildings. Since GPS reception does not exist within buildings, experts use other positioning technologies when automatic positioning is desired. Often, beacons and WiFi are used in the creation of GPS indoors. Contrary to GPS, WiFi and beacons help one to determine the actual floor level. Nonetheless, indoor mapping is impossible without automatic positioning. For example, location hardware such as WiFi and beacons is not required when a digital building map is integrated with a digital signage system.
