Show HN: Indoor Location you can try yourself

Constructive criticism: After reading the description, I don't understand what this application does. I am not initmately familiar with indoor mapping/positioning or WiFiSLAM. The term "indoor mapping showcase" is vague to me.

I think it lets me build maps of indoor locations? Somehow? Based on the screenshots, maybe by walking around my room? It seems like it could be neat, but I don't want to go through the trouble of downloading an app if I don't know what it does.

Fair enough. We have a 90 second video on YouTube that should give you a sense of what you'll get: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_GdXp_Swjs

But basically, yes. It lets you build indoor positioning by walking around my room.

Not everyone has time to watch videos, especially at work. A simple text description would work a lot better.

you're right. we're working on a blog post describing the app, and should probably get a better description on google play

You can add that video to your App description on Google Play also...
