The Future of Indoor LBS

November 4, 2011

The future of Indoor Location Based Services isn't an exact science, however, it is a game changer. Yesterday at the Geo-Loco conference, Micello's CEO spoke about Indoor LBS and just how game changing it is.   Geo-Loco dove into brand, advertiser and the location convergence in the context of the Social, Local and Mobile (SoLoMo) marketplace — and explored what it means for big brands, consumers, SMBs and the location industry.  Attendees at Geo-Loco learned from real-world successes in mobile-loco advertising, location platforms and more. Executives from Starbucks, Google, Waze, Facebook and leading investors addressed these topics in a highly interactive setting.

Its been said before- indoor maps will be a game changer, and we believe that's true.  Location-based services are increasingly moving indoors. Hundreds of applications on various mobile application stores provide compelling value propositions for consumers. These applications allow people to do comparison shopping, find their friends in the neighborhood, or get the latest flight details at an airport. The indoors is considered the final frontier, the last uncharted mile in location-based services.

Location Based Services and maps go together like (Bob) Marley and Reggae, peanuts and payday; what good is location without a map? Micello maps have and will continue to change the game of indoor location based services.  We're thinking outside the box, we've conquered shopping malls, released the top 100 airports in the United States, and we're growing our international presence.
