Apple picker Inmite, Czech mobile developers, are successfully testing the navigation they invented and designed themselves. It facilitates searching inside large buildings, warehouses and office complexes. In everyday practice, it makes it easier to find a store in a large shopping center, a car in a multi-storey car park or an exhibit in a museum. Orientation in large warehouses when looking for stored goods or mail can also be simplified. Indoor navigation works in places where classic GPS is unusable. Simply put, it works on the principle of multiple Wi-Fi devices.
Inmite Technical Director, Pavel Petřek said: "Only in 20% of cases can real GPS be used for accurate positioning. ... Even in the largest cities, it is possible to reach a maximum accuracy of tens of meters. In addition, it is impossible to determine on which floor of the building the object or person is located."
Navigation testing is a very advanced stage and can be used in their own applications by large department stores, logistics centers or airport complexes. The biggest advantage for them is the ability to use this orientation system without providing sensitive or private information such as movement data or detailed map plans to third parties.
something similar already works in New York in the museum near Central Park.
That's interesting, I'm curious, on the basis of what it works, if GPS doesn't play a role, what can play a role?? Would the signal strength of WiFi networks in the vicinity?
