In addition to indoor navigation, outdoor navigation is also a central functionality of locandis apps. Large outdoor areas can thus be equipped with a destination search and navigation. 

The navigation is based on the GPS position and therefore does not require any additional hardware.

Of particular interest is the integration between indoor and outdoor navigation, which allows theme parks, hospital areas, or office complexes with multiple buildings to be fully navigable via a single app.

Imagine that you are visiting a university hospital to have some tests done. You have arrived at the parking lot and start the navigation with Google Maps to the reception, the 1st station of your visit. The navigation works until you reach the entrance, but you cannot use the navigation inside and a media break occurs. Between treatments, you will need to navigate to several departments in different buildings. In the best case, the stations are maintained in Google Maps and you can at least navigate outside between the buildings. In the standard case, often not all individual stations are available in the search and you have to find your way elsewhere.

This is exactly a predestined use case of seamless indoor and outdoor navigation. This enables different buildings to be navigated indoors and outdoors using a single navigation application. There is no media discontinuity, as the correct map for continuing navigation is automatically displayed each time the user enters or leaves a building. Indoors, a differentiation is then made between the individual floors within the framework of indoor navigation.
