Google Maps Floor Plan Marker to help businesses map their indoors!

Google has released a new Android app named Google Maps Floor Plan Marker.

This app is designed to help businesses improve the indoor location accuracy on their floor maps that are uploaded to Google Maps platform.

This data is used to pinpoint venues inside a building like a mall or an airport.

Google said:

Today we’re releasing the Google Maps Floor Plan Marker app, which enables those who’ve uploaded floor plans to improve the indoor location accuracy their visitors experience when using indoor maps within their venue. If you’ve uploaded a floor plan through the Google Maps Floor Plans tool, once you install the Google Maps Floor Plan Marker app, you’ll be guided through the process of walking around the entire surface area of your place of interest. Using the app, you collect data from sources such as GPS, cell tower, and publicly broadcast Wi-Fi information that can help us make the My Location feature’s familiar “blue dot” icon accessible for Android users when they’re inside the venue. The time it takes to complete this process depends on the size of the venue, but you can pause and resume a marking task at any time if you want to take breaks.
