i’m trying to develop a small application that is able to track the position of the user indoors. I also want to create a small map of the building floor, so the user can see a image of it and his/her current position as they travel though the building. They would be able to connect via wifi.
Are there any tutorials/examples of how to create a navigational map indoors on the iphone? furthermore is it possible to accuratly track the position of the player by the use of wifi indoors?
Your second question is IMHO much more crucial, and the answer is “not very easily, and not very accurately”. You’d have to see multiple APs (4+) located at well known positions at the same time, and triangulate your position from the signal strengths. This would also require that the phone scans for networks all the time but doesn’t connect to any.
