Indoor GIS is a unified floor-aware ArcGIS system for visualizing, analyzing, and managing indoor spaces. It’s powered by indoor maps created with ArcGIS Indoors and indoor positioning can be overlaid through ArcGIS IPS. Indoor GIS capability allows organizations to create detailed maps of indoor environments, such as buildings, campuses, and facilities, to support four primary patterns of use: asset management, space management, safety and security, and occupant and visitor experience.
The indoors team at Esri has compiled a list of resources that you can explore to get started with bringing your GIS indoors.
