Turn-by-turn navigation system needs no internet or GPS

There is a wealth of personal navigation services available in the
marketplace today, but most require GPS or internet connectivity. Not so
with MapOS, which bills itself as "the world's first and only patent
pending turn-by-turn navigation technology for any indoor or outdoor
building or area without using GPS, wifi or an internet signal."

The creation of New Jersey-based MapEverywhere, MapOs already powers the
FastMall retail navigation and shopping app for smartphones. With
point-to-point navigation in a wide range of languages, FastMall is
already in place at more than 1,250 malls in 31 countries around the
world. As of this fall, however, the technology is available to a broad
array of other commercial, institutional, recreational and industrial
venues as well. Airports, universities, museums, hospitals, trade shows
and amusement parks — among others — can now all use MapOS to help their
customers and guests find their way around. Users can search by points
of interest, locate first aid and emergency exits, and use the
software's "Take Me There" feature to be guided directly to their
destination, even choosing whether they wish to avoid stairs. A "Deals
on Map" feature, meanwhile, helps them find deals and discounts.

Available either on a SaaS (Software as a Service) basis or as an
in-house hosted solution, the technology is suitable for use by the
visually impaired. MapOS also offers an integrated advertising platform,
enabling retailers to display promotions on MapOS-powered apps to drive
shoppers and visitors to their stores. The video below demonstrates
MapOS for use in a theme park setting:

Thanks to GPS and the internet, consumers are increasingly accustomed to
using navigational technology in virtually every aspect of their daily
lives. Why not offer an in-house solution of your own, complete with all
the associated advertising possibilities?
