First steps for Wayfinding

1

Configure your account #

Access Situm’s Dashboard, create your buildings and upload their plans, georeferencing them according to their actual location, size and orientation.

1. Layout plans. 
2. Create a building and upload the floorplans 
3. Create POIS (users will be able to search them & see them on the map).
4. Create paths to configure the navigable space and compute routes along them.

Infrastructure #

Situm uses two types of signals as infrastructure: WiFi and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).

• WiFi. Android can use WiFi signals. Your existing building infrastructure should be enough.
• BLE. Both Android & iOS can use BLE signals. Situm offers two flavours: 1) beacon-free, 2) beacon-based. If you choose to use beacon-based flavour, you’ll need to deploy BLE beacons.
• Additionally, make sure your device has all the required sensors.
