If a mobile device has installed Android OS, using the latest version of Google Maps that present internal maps of objects you can get acquainted with the major shopping malls, department stores and airports.
The new options allow users to view specific maps for each floor who attend, with an accuracy of 5 to 10 meters from their location. On the screen you can see not only stores but also other important locations such as airport terminals, ATMs, toilets...
With curvature and turning the screen map gets a three-dimensional view.
As a beginning, only a few major world airports and department stores - Google partners, are mapped in this way, but Google announced an additional platform called Floor Plans trough which companies can publish and update their plans of buildings on Google Maps.
According to the manager of Google Maps, Steve Lee, it is the biggest improvement this year, and this location technology uses GPS, mobile and Wi-Fi signals to accurately determine the location of the user. Technology comes with a slight delay because of Microsoft Bing Maps for several months provide maps for indoor spaces.
It is expected that maps for indoor spaces to be a major source of revenue for the two rivals, because companies will need some time before they begin to advertise their discounts and special offers of three-dimensional platform. And it was a "next big thing" shows and the latest announcement of the Nokia revolution precisely in this field.
