OpenStreetMap
Hi, I would like to upload floor plans to create some indoor maps. Is this possible with OpenStreetMap?
We’ll map our office as a test and then our client wants to include indoor maps in their app. A point in the right direction would be helpful.
Thanks

Note that indoor mapping is still rather experimental, and also rather difficult, as GPS position is hard to get inside buildings (certainly for the precision you need), and areal imagery doesn’t help a lot.
The only thing you can use are images of floor plans, as a background to the existing building layout.

I remember going to a GIS Day workshop back in 2012, and sat in on a talk about indoor mapping: WiFiSlam. Unfortunately, Apple purchased the company and the product is off the market.
Technology exists, but it’s not in everyone hands.
