IndoorAtlas is a technology that uses the magnetic fields that are in all buildings and rooms. This has proven to be a high quality technology used for positioning especially since it is possible to combine the technology with other positioning mechanisms. MazeMap customers often will benefit if they use IndoorAtlas in combination with Cisco CMX based positioning. Our experience is that IndoorAtlas will provide a more exact positioning than CMX but requires more work with finger printing with Fingerprinting and the end user also needs to download an app to use the technology. When we combine the two solutions it is possible for a visitor to use only CMX while e.g. employees or students at a university can downlaod download an app in order to get better positioning. IndoorAtlas will also use the floor mapping from CMX in order to locate the correct floor a user is located on.

In order for MazeMap to set up the positioning on our side we need a set of API Keys from IndoorAtlas.
- Go here to get an overview of of the application you have created.
- If there are no applications created, you need to do this by clicking +Create new application in the upper right corner.
- When you have created the applications you need you can click on the name of the application. You will then get the possibility to create API keys. By clicking on the Add new Api key button on the right side of the screen.
- Copy the API key ID and the API key secret. Send the following information to support@mazemap.com.
API key id: 3d7259fa-0f5f-4af1-bf5d-56aeb8c1205f
API key secret: M1ejvibhNCzey2mq0pXNVMQRJS7SW0DVieqJHKlrs95jKdbbWXu3m2WOL9DJlK9m/DQiclez6P3D+EUAidGQy6lMMSRXp8U+HldgwUhokNCX7ogkaFKBhrOFCbzzCw==

If you are using IndoorAtlas in combination with Cisco CMX you need to set up a LIPI Server. This is explained in the tutorial /wiki/spaces/DPD/pages/7864425.
