Unlocking Unique Indoor Experiences with Customized Azure Maps
Azure Maps
The Software
Azure Maps, a comprehensive suite of geospatial services, offers solutions ranging from mapping and traffic data to complex geospatial analytics. This project focused on enhancing Azure Maps with custom indoor styling capabilities, a crucial feature for large facilities requiring personalized indoor navigation experiences.
The Challenge
Azure Maps provided flexible options for customizing outdoor maps but lacked styling capabilities for indoor mapping. This limited Azure's appeal for large facilities with indoor navigation needs like airports, hospitals, retail chains, and more. With a tight timeline, Azure Maps needed an expert team to drive this new feature end-to-end.
Integration Complexity
Integrating (MapBox styling spec) external map styling frameworks with Azure Maps' existing infrastructure.
User-Friendly Design
Developing an intuitive styling pipeline and editor for ease of use without overwhelming configuration options.
Performance Optimization
Implementing scalable performance solutions with effective caching and monitoring.
Tight Dealines
Delivering the complete solution within a twelve-month period.
