BlueMap

Android bluemap

Description

BlueMap is a free and open source application for iOS and Android Platforms which detects Bluetooth LE and iBeacon devices and lists them on an open street map. With Bluetooth LE and iBeacon, new communication channels are gained in order to reduce the gap between the analogue and the digital world. Digital information can be mapped to physical spots and establish new business opportunities. With BlueMap, we are examining both technologies – Bluetooth Low Energy and iBeacons – and furthermore, surveying how many people already make use of this technology in their everyday business. We gather information about the distribution of Bluetooth tags and you can participate and obtain our results, too! All found tags are freely accessible over BlueMap App or on our website. We look forward to your visit!

Core Functionality

Scanning and survey:

BlueMap scans your environment for Bluetooth LE and iBeacon tags and lists them automatically on our open street map for you to see.

Analysing:

Each found Bluetooth tag is listed chronologically. With a fingertip on a listed tag, you can see what exactly the Bluetooth tag is sending.

Requirements

BlueMap needs enabled GPS so that found tags can be listed properly on the map. Obviously, Bluetooth has to be activated on your device. Android devices with version 4.3 Jelly Bean and upwards are supported.
