Under the hood, the app consumes 8 map services, 1 for each floor of the UC, and 1 each for labels, topobasemap, basemap additions, and a minimal locator map. For the routing functionality, we built a GP service on top of a cartographic-quality 3d network dataset. The room-finding functionality was built into the client itself.
