Discover how to enable seamless access to indoor maps for everyone.<\/em><\/p>\n

Getting around an unfamiliar campus or building doesn\u2019t have to start with downloading a mobile app – ArcGIS Indoors now offers a simpler way. With Indoors App Clip, visitors can get instant access to an indoor map to find locations and directions the moment they arrive, helping them find their way quickly and confidently.<\/p>\n

Support for this feature marks a continued commitment to innovation in ArcGIS Indoors as this is a game-changing feature for visitors navigating complex venues like government buildings, universities, airports, hospitals, and more. The Indoors App Clip is designed to deliver instant access to indoor maps on mobile devices. It allows visitors to easily locate key destinations or amenities. It empowers facility managers and IT administrators to provide a scan-and-go experience for guests who need quick, reliable location information without any app installation and onboarding hurdles.<\/p>\n

What is this new feature?<\/h3>\n

Indoors App Clip provides users instant access to indoor maps, without having to first download the Indoors mobile app. By simply scanning a QR code, users can launch an App Clip on an iOS device within seconds and get a full screen app-like experience. Users with an Android device can scan the same QR code and get instant access to the indoor map through a progressive web app. This approach eliminates the time needed for app download and setup and ensures that visitors get what they need right away.<\/p>\n

Benefits and Ease of Use<\/h3>\n

App Clips stand out for their simplicity and speed. Organizations managing large and complex facilities face a challenge to deliver frictionless exploring and wayfinding experiences to visitors without requiring app downloads or onboarding. With the Indoors App Clip, visitors can instantly access indoor maps to find people, places, amenities, events, and other points of interest and wayfinding tools with just a scan – no app download required. Not only does this save time but it also lowers technical barriers such as setting up the mobile app, especially for first-time and infrequent visitors to quickly find their way inside a building. The intuitive interface ensures that users can navigate indoor spaces with confidence, reducing confusion related to not being familiar with the layout of a new building, and thereby enhancing their overall experience. The app clip remains available to the user to launch again at any time from the apps gallery of their device and it disappears automatically after a period of inactivity.<\/p>\n

In short, Indoors App Clip creates value for every stakeholder involved in delivering and experiencing indoor navigation.<\/p>\n
