Google Maps Has Indoor Mapping Of CES

Gizmodo AU

Getting between buildings in Vegas is fairly straightforward. It’s once you’re inside that things get confusing. If you happen to be in Nevada for CES this year – or just want to gaze over the maze that is Vegas’ hotels and convention centres – Google Maps has launched indoor mapping of the event.

The show floor has been included, and according to Slashgear, can even be saved to the cache so you don’t need a data connection to keep the map handy. Given the massive size of CES every year, this is going to be an essential part of your arsenal if you are planning on pounding the show floor.

    I mean no offense to the boys and girls at Giz but did you know that Bing had the indoor maps before Google did, though be it only for the US but still. :-)

      Yes but nobody uses Bing, therefore no one other then you was aware of the fact ;-)

        I use Bing. It produces almost exact same results are Google and in some cases a few extras. I mainly use Bing because I enjoy the different images and short HTML5 movies they have. It’s so much better than seeing the words Google day in and day out :-)

      I find the actual maps in Bing Maps to be a horrible, cluttered mess myself. To each their own though.
