Google Find My Device begins internal mapping

Google Indoor Maps: Αν χάσατε κάποια στιγμή το Android κινητό σας, μπορεί να έχετε χρησιμοποιήσει την Google "Find My Device" to see the latest location of the phone on a map.

Find My Device improves as Google Maps improves with the latest mapping technology. With the last update however, Google added internal mapping support to Find My Device.Google

Google Maps already has areas very well mapped, so indoor mapping seems to be its next big focus. s.

For indoor mapping, one would need to upload a floor plan to Google Maps and then create some sort of indoor positioning system. Google's outdoor maps use satellite imagery and photos from of .

However, these techniques can not be used for internal mapping. For mapping an indoor space, every building owner is required to provide data to the company.

Today there are internal maps mainly for airports, shopping centers, stadiums and other large companies (an example). So if you miss her somewhere there, and the internal positioning system works, you will now be able to locate the exact location of the device with the Find My Device service.

This can work in your home one day. Google has added 802.11mc support, or Wi-Fi Round Trip Time (RTT) support to the Android 9 Pie, which allows Android devices to inherently support precise internal positioning as well as internal navigation.

But you will need a router that is compatible with the Wi-Fi RTT, which is not currently available on the market. However, Google has promised to see Wi-Fi RTT support on the GoGle Wi-Fi Router before the end of 2018.

At the moment, does anyone want to upload a map of their home to Google Maps?
