Frequently Asked questions about GIS implementation in the museum
What is the Indoors Navigation Platform and why do museums need it?
The Indoors Navigation Platform (INP) is an indoor navigation system that helps museum visitors navigate easily, find exhibits of interest, and get information about them. For museums, INP improves the user experience, makes it easier to manage visitor flows, and creates a more comfortable and interesting space for guests.
