Indoor positioning


I am trying to get indoor gps by trying to orient my floorplan with the actual building from google maps. I know perfect accuracy is not possible. Any idea how to do this ? Do the maps need to be converted to kml format?


Solution

  • Forget that!

    Only with luck you can get indoor GPS signals, probably only near the window, and then it is likely to be more distorted than the size of your building.

    You only can try to get the coordinates outside, at the corner of the buildings.

    For precise measures you would need some averaging of the measures, which only a few GPS devices offer. For less precision, take the coordinate, or measure it on differnet hours, days.
