Indoor Maps for IOS/android

I want to create indoor map for a mall. I am using Beacons for getting positions and navigating for shortest paths. I dont need gps or any other wifi. What i need is:

  1. I need to know how to create maps which can zoom in and zoom out like google maps.
  2. I want to draw paths dyanamically when the user searches for it, so i need to keep in mind this functionality while creating maps.

Any body helps, Thanks in advance.

[Note: I studied google maps , but i cant use google map indoor functionality for some reasons. I also dont want to use any API which needs to be subscribed]

MappedIn may fulfill your needs for indoor map creation, navigation, highlighting polygons, displaying user location using beacons, and more. The full functionality of this is used in The Dubai Mall application, check it once (This may work inside the mall, I presume).

I checked this application when I visited mall, it was working efficiently with all of its functionalities.

Here is a link for Mappedin In

Check this and share your thoughts. I have some ideas for this integration and working concept, and would like to share them with you.

I want to create indoor map for a mall.

For creating an indoor map for any specific place (your example: mall store), you can draw your map and include it as a background image. Then using beacons you have to calculate your distance from them and draw your path based on x and y coordinates.

I need to know how to create maps which can zoom in and zoom out like google maps.

You can implement zoom on pinch on your image (map image)

I want to draw paths dyanamically when the user searches for it, so i need to keep in mind this functionality while creating maps.

As i mentioned above, you have to draw your path based on x and y coordinates. You can suppose that image's top-left corner is the intial coordinate(0,0) and assign that to x=0, y=0. While you are moving, you make a calculation based on those coordinates and update UI

One alternative to Google's tools for drawing and rendering maps (indoor or otherwise) would be Mapbox, who just recently updated their mobile SDK offering. https://www.mapbox.com/developers/
