Beyond positioning
Maps are infrastructure, not an afterthought
Pointr was built to solve an indoor positioning problem: how do you locate a person or asset inside a building with pinpoint accuracy? That's a legitimate technical challenge, and their sub-meter accuracy is a tangible benefit for organizations needing precise indoor positioning capabilities.
But for venue operators managing malls, airports, and stadiums, indoor positioning is only the starting point. The harder problem is how it's used in context: keeping maps accurate when tenants change, connecting them to your digital signage and operations systems, running promotional routing to drive foot traffic, and giving your team control without requiring a developer for every update.
If your primary need is sub-meter indoor positioning or AI-powered bulk map digitization from CAD files, Pointr is worth evaluating. If your need is a venue experience platform that scales across your portfolio, Mappedin is the right solution.
Mappedin vs. Pointr
How Mappedin differs
Mappedin is designed to help teams manage navigation, experience, operations, and safety for complex, multi-venue properties.
Map control
Real-time self-serve editor with draft/publish workflow. Your team manages changes without IT or a developer.
No file format dependency
Mappedin works with a wide range of source files. Pointr's MapScale® is limited to vector formats—CAD, DWG, or vector PDF—a real constraint for venues with legacy or mixed-format floor plans.
Directory software included
Mappedin ships with full interactive directory functionality. Pointr requires custom development to build a kiosk or directory experience, adding cost and timeline to every deployment.
Promotional routing & tenant ads
Mappedin can direct shoppers toward featured stores, seasonal events, or anchor tenants. Pointr has no equivalent capability.
Accessibility
Mappedin is fully WCAG 2.1 AA compliant. Pointr is only partially conformant—a meaningful gap for venues with compliance requirements.
Enterprise-level scalability & support
Mappedin is trusted by some of the world’s most prestigious brands like Simon Property Group, Cadillac Fairview, Amsterdam Schiphol, and Lumen Field.
