Indoor location using the Estimote Location Beacons

Let's first set up indoor location using the iOS app.

Setting up an indoor location using the iOS app

In this section, we will learn to set up basic indoor navigation using Estimote Location Beacons. The simple implementation contains two major components:

• At least four Estimote Location Beacons
• The Estimote iOS app (https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/estimote-indoor-location/id963704810)

The next step is to put the beacons on each wall of the room (preferably vertically, at chest height, and in the middle of the wall).  The next step is to start the calibration process in the iOS app. In the calibration process, you will start by placing the phone next to a beacon and letting the app recognize the location. Then walk along the walls of the room and keep on placing the cellphone next to each beacon to register its location....
