What are Mapsted Indoor Maps?
Mapsted indoor maps are maps of your indoor space. Indoor mapping is the process of converting your floor plans that you send to us into digital, interactive representations of indoor spaces. With Mapsted’s indoor mapping platform, any company can be enhanced to display data in the context of an indoor map.
How do these indoor maps work?
Once you send in your static map ( any file form is fine, as long as it is to scale), Mapsted will convert them into intelligent, 3-D digital maps by overlaying multiple data layers to create scalable, location-aware applications. Indoor maps are essential to the creation of a fully functional indoor navigation platform.
Mapsted’s indoor maps provide seamless outdoor-indoor navigation and localization with turn-by-turn blue dot navigation without the use of beacons or other external hardware.

Indoor maps provides the context users need to use indoor wayfinding, therefore it is highly recommended that Mapsted’s indoor maps is paired with our indoor wayfinding SDK. Even though they are fully functional independent SDK’s, when paired together they unlock a world of endless possibilities.
The maps you send us are integrated with various platforms and data sets via SDK’s which allow for a wide range of map-enabled uses. Our in house team are experts when it comes to complex indoor maps. We know that map digitalization is often more than converting files. Spatial information needs to be understood, and customized. Mapsted helps you establish a strong foundation that gets you where your maps need to go.

Interactive Map: Map interactions are a fundamental component of Mapsted’s cross-platform SDK for Mobile, Web and Kiosk. The map view supports multiple interactions, map gestures, map clicks, and QR code scanning. Map gestures allow for pan, zoom, tilt, and rotations, while map clicks allow for customizable actions (e.g., selection of entities).
Map click events indicate when the user has clicked on the map. A map click event consists of a click type, a click location, and a click entity. A single click on a location will select that entity whereas a double click will zoom into the map.
QR Code scanning allows a user to quickly scan the provided QR code to access a mobile version of the map.
Offline maps: All downloaded map data is automatically stored in a local database and available for use offline. The SDK will automatically download map data, as needed, based on what is nearby. Map data downloads can also be managed programmatically, triggered by UI interactions.
Custom map viewYou can power your map using our position location technology, while using your own map. Mapsted uses Open Street Maps as the geofence for user locations, buildings, and other map elements. If your system uses a basemap such as Google maps or Apple maps, please contact us, so we can make sure that our user locations, buildings, and other map elements are appropriately georeferenced for your basemap.
