title: Indoor Map of Building - Android
body: <p>I'm trying to create an app that will tell a person what zone of a building they are in. I'm using bluetooth dongles to get an approximate location, as oppose to exact location, and show the user on a map whereabouts they are. I would like it just to highlight the zone they are in, instead of a specific location.</p>
  
  <p>I can get my hands on a floor plan of the building I am using so I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to incorporate this into some kind of map with an existing API? I found a question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3204796/indoor-custom-maps-application">here</a> which states that they just use an overlay on the image to show a marker of where the person is. Would this be a bit easier? </p>
  
  <p>This is for my final year project so I would like to have some sort of flashy map if possible but I'm not sure where to start looking or if it's possible.</p>
  
  <p>I also found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9717111/indoor-map-for-a-private-building">this</a> question which gives a great variety of apps that implement and indoor map, but I don't think I can just take this small piece of functionality that I need out of them as they seem to be complete apps. </p>
  
  <p>Any information would be a great help. Anyone with experience in this sort of thing please share your knowledge :) </p>
