This document summarizes Google's indoor mapping service. It discusses how Google works with organizations to upload and align floor plans on Google Maps, determine what to label on the maps, have Google survey buildings by walking through with an app to improve location accuracy, color code sections and add icons, and work with Google to review maps before the service goes live for an organization. It also provides links to learn more and download the Google Maps Floor Plan Marker app.
