Simple indoor routing on SVG maps

Until now no general applicable technology for indoor localization has prevailed. Similarly, there are many approaches to model buildings for indoor navigation being developed. Most of them are very expensive to apply. This work presents a tool for graphically adding navigational data to existing maps. It further demonstrates how to use the created map for routing as pure web application which can be embedded in smartphone applications and used with any positioning technology. As SVG is used as format for the map, it analyses performance of rendering and manipulating SVGs on different devices. We show that even large maps can be displayed on current mobile Android devices sufficiently fast for usage as indoor navigation application.
