Hi I am new to developing apps for ibeacons. I would like to know more about the limitations of these beacons
Is the possible to create a app for android that able to specifically pinpoint the exact location of a beacon and direct the user towards the the location to beacon? Somewhat similar to a GPS.
Hi Andrew,
Beacons themselves are not designed for precise indoor location: they're great for approximating location and providing local context to mobile apps and devices.
However, we've also released Indoor Location SDK, which uses complex algorithms to provide avergae accuracy of around 1 meter. It's iOS only for now, but we will release Android version in the future.
You can read more about Indoor Location SDK here: http://estimote.com/indoor/
Cheers.
Hi, We are developing an application in android using Estimote beacons,
