Google Maps 6.0, now indoor

Google Maps is developing very rapidly. There are many updates on my Android phone in short periods of time. Google Maps now has reached version 6.0 and is promising navigation inside buildings. Interesting!



Google says it's nonsense to take you to the mall, or to the airport, and then you leave the front door inside a building like a huge maze. So Google developed Maps for interior. First will be covered airports and shopping malls in America, but anyone can submit building plan to be included in Google Maps.



What is curious to know is how you will be located in the building. The GPS does not work, so probably only on GSM signal. But how will you know what floor are you?
