A self-serve tool

With the HERE Indoor Radio mapper, venue owners can manage and control their indoor environment, providing flexibility for any occasion.

Under the hood

Available through the HERE Mobile SDK for iOS and Android, HERE Indoor Positioning comes with tools such as the HERE Indoor Radio Mapper, which enables the location of devices that are indoors – from offices to airports, to malls, and beyond.

The technology can even determine which floor a device is on, creating a full 3D experience.

Also available is the Radio Map Admin Tool, a web-based application for venue owners to manage collected indoor data as well as monitor and manage Bluetooth beacons that are used in indoor mapping. The tool helps venue owners visualize and manipulate collected radio data.
