What indoor navigation needs
Three things make indoor navigation work: an accurate map of every floor, a way to know where the visitor is, and a router that understands doors, corridors and vertical connections. GPS provides none of these indoors.
- The map — built from your existing drawings (DXF, IMDF, GeoJSON, SVG or a floor-plan image) in the Venue Studio.
- The position — a “You are here” QR scan, a tap on the map, or “Walk with me” step-and-compass tracking.
- The route — calculated on the phone across all floors, with step-free routing on request and an instruction at every bend.
Why no beacons
Beacons, Wi-Fi fingerprinting and ultra-wideband anchors can give a live blue dot, but they add hardware to buy, install, power and maintain, and usually require an app. For most visitors the hard part is not knowing their exact spot every second — it is knowing the next turn. QR signs at entrances, lifts and junctions give an exact starting point at zero running cost, and the phone’s sensors follow the walk from there.
What visitors get
- Search for any shop, department, gate or room — with opening hours and phone numbers
- Short, landmark-based steps: “Slight left at Pharmacy”, “Take the lift to Level 2”
- Street-level view that moves with the route, or a 3D overview
- Step-free routes for wheelchairs, prams and luggage
- A shareable link, QR codes, kiosk screens and website embeds
