When communicating and making user-friendly maps and applications, Points of Interest (POIs) are essential pieces of information.

Modern POIs with Indoor GIS facilitate navigation and wayfinding inside of buildings, but also provide connectivity, serving as a gateway between your map and your information portal.

pace is expensive. Due to this simple truth, it is important to ensure the accurate digitizing of features and space inside your facilities. As more features get digitized within a designated facility, the inaccuracies will compound when it comes time to calculate the total ‘Gross Area’ and ‘Net Area’ of the building. These two area measurements are used when trying to optimize time, work and money spent on the building. At the very least, space costs about $10 for every square foot.
