The IndoorAtlas integration helps you leverage permanent, venue-installed hardware to deliver precise indoor positioning for your large-scale events. If you are hosting at massive venues like Koelnmesse or Jaarbeurs, you can now bypass third-party beacon setups and activate real-time floor plan navigation using the venue's existing infrastructure. This cuts down on deployment costs while maximizing exhibitor ROI and attendee engagement. 🚀

Effortless Setup in Swapcard Studio ⚙️

Event organizers can now connect IndoorAtlas directly within the ExpoFP map configuration. No complex coding required.

• Unified Configuration: Inside Studio, navigate to your ExpoFP map view. The side panel data section now features an Indoor Positioning option.
• Simple Credential Management: Clicking "Enable Indoor Positioning" allows you to choose IndoorAtlas alongside existing providers. Simply input your API Key and API Secret from the IndoorAtlas MapCreator portal.
• Flexible Control: You can edit or disable your hardware positioning configuration at any time from the same panel.

A Smooth, "Blue Dot" Navigation Experience for Attendees 🗺️

Attendees can navigate massive exhibition halls effortlessly without getting lost between booths.

• Smart Permission Triggers: When an attendee opens the map within 24 hours of the event start, the app safely requests Location and Bluetooth permissions.
• Real-Time Blue Dot Tracking: Once permissions are granted, a blue dot appears on the ExpoFP floor plan, updating continuously as attendees walk the show floor.
• Intelligent Multi-Floor Management: The blue dot dynamically adapts to the attendee's actual location—only appearing on the floor they are currently standing on to prevent confusion.
• Graceful Signal Handling: If an attendee enters a signal dead zone, the blue dot fades away cleanly without throwing app errors or disrupting the user interface.

Advanced Blue Dot Wayfinding 🎯

• Real-Time Routing: Attendees can use their live location as the starting point (Point A) to navigate to any booth or feature (Point B).
• Turn-by-Turn Navigation: Clicking "Directions" on a booth profile displays estimated distance, travel time, and step-by-step navigation.
• Accessible Paths: Includes an "Avoid stairs" toggle to ensure accessible route planning across multi-floor venues.

⚠️ Note for Organizers: Blue Dot Wayfinding relies on ExpoFP's active support for live-coordinate routing. If this is not yet supported in your specific ExpoFP package, navigation will gracefully fallback to booth-to-booth routing.
