Google Wants to Map Indoors, Too
An anonymous reader writes "Google maps are getting extended indoors next month with a new app called Micello that takes over where conventional navigators leave off — mapping your route inside of buildings, malls, convention centers and other points of interest. You don't get a 'you are here' blinking dot yet — but they do promise to add one next year using WiFi triangulation. At the introduction next month, Micello will only work in California, but they plan to expand to other major US cities during 2010."
Maybe I'm crazy, but this idea doesn't sound terribly good or safe from a security standpoint. Here let me just guide you to my (insert target here). Maybe it'll have sensitive areas blurred out, who knows. But, I am all for being able to find a restroom in the mall.
Justify my text? I'm sorry, but it has no excuse.
