Apple Indoor Map?

I would like to make a map of my school that can provide directions and the user's location through an apple app. What would be the best way to go about doing this? I found apple's indoor maps service, but I'm not sure if this is the most efficient way to go about it, and all the examples I have seen only use google's maps. Also, I don't know if apple's indoor maps system handles multiple floors (I would assume so, but haven;t yet seen any evidence). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would look into using Beacons. There are proprietary ones that provide an SDK, or you could just use the iBeacon SDK that is a part of CoreLocationServices. You can also handle multiple floors with this approach. They communicate using Bluetooth Low Energy signals and are accurate down to around a meter distance wise. Here are a couple companies that make them:
