mapIT’s international partner Micello has launched 15 000 indoor venue maps worldwide, including 65 shopping malls and nine airports in South Africa. This data enables enterprises to deploy an extensive array of maps in mobile and desktop applications.
“mapIT are pleased to bring yet another international solution to the South African mapping market with this partnership,” says Etienne Louw, MD of mapIT. “With 40% of mobile search having location intent, indoor mapping will offer our clients a whole new dimension to their businesses.”
The latest maps join a collection which includes more than 3,7-million mapped square feet, more than 50 000 individual buildings and 775 000 places of interest (POI).
“As the indoor mapping industry heats up, especially with recent news about Apple’s acquisition of WiFiSlam, we are positioned perfectly to help grow the ecosystem by focussing on generating geo-accurate indoor venue maps,” says Ankit Agarwal, CEO and founder of Micello.
“Micello is already the leading indoor map and navigational data supplier for many GIS and Mapping Platforms, and this additional content will enable a new class of mobile location experiences for markets like retail, healthcare, entertainment and enterprise.”
Micello was able to achieve this milestone using in-house technology, which has been developed over the last several years to create a quick yet highly scalable operation designed to meet the growing needs of the indoor industry.
