"Apple appears to be hoping to persuade building owners to upload a map of their space, and then iBeacons could in theory be used to automatically validate the map's accuracy...currently, Google is validating its indoor maps by hand" It's interesting that the innovation here is apparently going to be in the verification, with humans manually building the maps. I wonder if Google's 'Project Tango' is supposed to be merging these steps so the map doesn't have to be built manually and is automatically verified - that certainly seems like a possible use of it.
