This document summarizes IndoorAtlas, a company that provides indoor positioning technology for mobile apps. Their magnetic navigation approach allows indoor positioning without additional hardware and at scale. It works by using a compass chip and magnetic map to determine location. Their SDK and mapping tools are open for developers and support major mobile platforms like iOS and Android with a familiar API. The technology is deployed globally on cloud services and aims to solve challenges of indoor positioning at large scale. They offer free and paid plans for developers and work with many companies internationally.
