Bellevue,
WA – January 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Point
Inside, the leading provider of digital mapping and indoor location-based
solutions for major airports across the United States, announces upgrades
to its collection of indoor airport maps. With the world’s largest catalog
of indoor airport maps, all 171 maps have been updated, redesigned and
are now ready to integrate into any website or mobile app via the Point
Inside Software
Developer’s Kit. TripCase, a travel itinerary management app, is already
leveraging Point Inside’s extensive database, integrating the map collection
to empower mobile-first travelers worldwide.
“Traveling
can be an overwhelming and stressful experience, but navigating the airport
doesn’t have to be,” said Jon Croy, co-founder and CMO of Point Inside.
“Whether you are trying to find your gate, somewhere to eat before you
depart, or the rideshare pick-up area, Point Inside’s airport maps help
you know where you’re going every time.”
Point
Inside’s updated map collection allows passengers to leverage point to
point wayfinding with estimated travel times for their desired destination
within the airport. Additionally, they can easily locate and determine
routes to shops, restaurants and in-airport stores they are looking for
during their time at the airport. The updated version of the map collection
has a new, updated look and feel. All maps contain the latest information
including current airport layouts, shops, restaurants and services. Furthermore,
application developers are easily able to integrate third party data services
such as: TSA wait times, flight information, rideshare services and parking
availability providers.
“TripCase
users find airport maps highly valuable as part of their trip experience,”
said Vance Weintraub, Senior Product Manager at Sabre/TripCase.
“Point Inside’s new airport maps make it even easier for travelers to search
and find what they need while in the airport: the maps display shops and
restaurants, plus departure gates, baggage claim carousels, ticketing desks,
lounges, and other services. As a product manager, I’m most excited about
Point Inside’s hosted maps. The initial integration only took a few hours
and we’re done. Point Inside makes sure our map features are always state-of-the
art without further integration work from our team.”
Point
Inside’s new Flyer app featuring the maps is also available on iTunes,
Google and Web. Developers looking to incorporate Point Inside’s already-existing
map collection into their website or applications can request access to
the Point Inside SDK. For more information about Point Inside, please visit
