Looks good. No APIs released to developers as yet though so unable to do any testing.

Hi Saleem

I’ve been too tied up with client work to do much research in this area of late I’m afraid but the impression I get is that things are moving slowly. Google are adding indoor maps to Google Maps in the US, and Micello are constantly adding to their map database so you could build something that made use of those and would work wherever they have maps. I’m not sure how you would display a location to the user without some kind of map that had been created beforehand though. How would a device know in realtime what it’s surroundings were? All it would know was its GPS coordinates. Some kind of sonar would be the only thing I could think of, and best of luck trying to get that to work! Although Bruce Wayne managed it I suppose…

Great conversation here! Thanks Jimmy for keeping the dialogue going.

My name is Ankit and I’m the CEO of Micello. We are mapping out every interesting building on the planet and really excited to enable a new generation of indoor-location based apps. Contact me at ankit at micello dot com if you’d like to chat about the indoors!

Best wishes!

Hi Jimmy,

I’m wondering what is the latest progress you have made in this field in the past year? I am looking to develop applications for an indoor localization method that does not require mapping ahead of time and was hoping to get your opinion of what’s available on the market today.

Thanks.

It’s not as accurate as Android as the iOS wifi APIs are private, but they use a form of dead reckoning to obtain a location. I haven’t tested it so I’m not sure how accurate it is I’m afraid

Hi Arnaud,

I sent a mail to Insiteo but they did not get back. Are they still working with the positioning tool ?

Hi,

Did you get a chance to review ?

They look pretty promising. They also have a interactive mapping api which would make making a map easier , i guess.
