IndoorAtlas is a technology that uses 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. In order for IndorrAtlas IndoorAtlas to work on IoS devices iOS devices you need to use it together with either CMX (or similar) or beacons. This is so that the IoS device iOS device will be able to distinguish which floor the user is located on.

IndoorAtlas has a process called Fingerprinting to gather signal data in the buildings. We recommend that you read through documentation of  how to achieve good fingerprinting coverage and recording paths.  We suggests that you use different devices to do the fingerprinting to achieve the best result, you are recommended to do the fingerprinting 2-3 times (or until the visualized path turns green) in order to record the best result. Make sure that you will publish/generate your maps after you have finished fingerprinting.

A list of the best devices for the fingerprinting is available here. It is recommended that you be in the middle of a corridor or room instead of being close to a wall when collecting fingerprints. Please also note the Android 9 Wifi Wi-Fi Fingerprinting Limitations.

    Make sure that you set the settings of the API Key to enable it to "Store location permanently" because this will help your team and the IA and MazeMap support teams during the testing

      


Step 5 Test position in IndoorAtlas

...

' own apps ("MapCreator2" for Android or "IndoorAtlas Positioning" for IOS)

To be sure that everything is set up correctly and that the mapping and positioning is working as expected, check the position you get by using the MapCreator MapCreator2 or IndoorAtlas Positioning app from Indoor Atlas. You will then see how the position from IndoorAtlas works isolated.
