Real-Time Indoor Positioning Integration to Mapinger

Objective:
Mapinger currently provides a CRM-based platform to create and manage indoor floor plans, profiles, locations, tags, and navigation.

The next requirement is to introduce real-time indoor positioning, allowing a user's current location to be detected inside a building and displayed on the Mapinger indoor map.

Target experience

“Open Mapinger → Indoor map loads → Your live location appears → Mapinger shows where you are and guides you to your destination.”

The system should support multiple positioning technologies, primarily:

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacons
Wi-Fi-based positioning
Potentially Hybrid BLE + Wi-Fi
Future support for other technologies such as UWB
2. Business Requirement

The current Mapinger system tells users where places are.

The new system should also tell users:

“Where am I right now?”

This enables:

Blue-dot live positioning
Turn-by-turn indoor navigation
Route recalculation
Destination discovery
Emergency/location services
Asset/person tracking
Wayfinding kiosks
Indoor analytics
Location-based notifications
Accessibility navigation
