Providing user-friendly maps or tracking objects inside of large spaces can be equally important as mapping the streets and avenues downtown. The challenge is, you don’t have mapping cars driving through the hallways of your office.
HERE Indoor Radio Mapper is an Android-based tool for collecting geo-referenced radio data on the WiFi access points and Bluetooth beacon signal strengths inside buildings. The tool also supports collecting signal-strength data outdoors in the vicinity of your venue in case smooth indoor/outdoor transitions are required.
To use this tool, you need to have an indoor map of your venue (either a HERE Venue Map or a custom image-based indoor map of your own) and WiFi access points or Bluetooth beacons installed in your building. As soon as you have a map available, you can try out radio data collection and Indoor Positioning in the demo mode in Indoor Radio Mapper. However, if you want to use Indoor Radio Mapper in your own app, you can register for HERE Mobile SDK premium evaluation at our Developer Portal and download our example apps from GitHub.
Radio data collection with the HERE Indoor Radio Mapper is the key to giving HERE Mobile SDK applications location awareness, even inside buildings. The collected radio data is processed in the HERE Cloud to create an understanding of the radio signal behavior within the building. We call this the radiomap of the building. The radiomap is downloaded and used by the HERE Mobile SDK to locate devices running the location-aware application, and provides accuracy within a few meters -- and in full 3D.
