An open map?

@jonassmith @smk @openstreetmap they have indoor mapping?

[jonassmith@theforkiverse.com]

@semitones @smk @openstreetmap yep, there’s a relatively active project mapping things like hospitals, train stations etc. Not supported in many standard viewers though.

The tricky part is getting hold of public data.

@thomas how do you mean?…

@jonassmith
You need to know what it looks like inside. I mean, which corridor leads where, and so on.

@jonassmith @smk @openstreetmap what3words is still king for accurately locating someone.

[jonassmith@theforkiverse.com]

@thomas ah yes, well we have both floor plans and easy access in this case

@tom @smk @openstreetmap but not too relevant indoors, right?

[tom@theforkiverse.com]

@jonassmith @smk @openstreetmap relevant everywhere. the entire planet is in a 3x3 grid with three words assigned to each. GPS can't even touch it for accuracy.
