This document summarizes Google's indoor mapping service. It discusses how Google works with organizations to upload and align floor plans on Google Maps, determine what to label on the maps, have Google survey buildings by walking through with an app to improve location accuracy, color code sections and add icons, and work with Google to review maps before the service goes live for an organization. It also provides links to learn more and download the Google Maps Floor Plan Marker app.
4. The research shows …
• As of April 2012, 55% of adult cell owners use
the internet on their mobile phones; nearly
double what we found three years ago.
• 31% of current cell internet users say that they
mostly go online using their cell phone, and
not using some other device such as a desktop
or laptop computer.

21. Stage 3: Google Team Surveys Buildings
Walks are files created with the
Google Maps Floor Plan Marker
application to help improve
location accuracy by walking
through a building and collecting
relevant location information along
the way.
Point of interest survey to add
notes to the map.
23. Stage 4: Review
• Color-code sections (e.g., offices could be light-
blue and classrooms could be green.)
• Add icons like:
• Work with Google to insure building sections are
labeled/not-labeled correctly before service goes
live.
• Google Indoor Mapping Marketing Director will
help develop a press release etc.
