> GoodMaps had the opportunity to implement it's accessible indoor mapping and navigation technology at the CSUN 2022 Assistive Technology Conference at the Anaheim Marriott. There were 180 downloads and over 2,000 engagement sessions on the app. GoodMaps was delighted to see so many attendees navigating to the various conference locations. GoodMaps also hosted an accessible indoor navigation symposium with 10 presenters from a variety of national organizations. This third indoor navigation symposium had over 80 attendees in-person and virtually. Topics covered the current LiDAR/camera technology, improvements in outdoor navigation, exploring virtually  and discussions of future mapping and user interface improvements. Everyone was thrilled to be together in-person as well as having colleagues online as far away as Finland. A video with user testimonials COMING SOON! Read an article about the event and watch a video of one of our users.
