Blue Dot Location Generator

The Mappedin Blue Dot Location Generator app can be used to generate location data for testing. To create test data, load a map in the generator app and choose a Start and End space. Click Generate to generate the data and observe the Blue Dot on the map using the generated data for its position. Press the Download button to download the location data in JSON format. The data can be customized by specifying the parameters below:

  • Venue Settings: Add in a key, secret and map ID to load a different map.
  • Environment: Whether to load the map from Mappedin's North American or European environment. By default, maps exist in the North American environment.
  • Jitter: The amount of random variation in the position data from the navigation path.
  • Accuracy: The accuracy used in the data. In a real world scenario this value represents how accurate the indoor positioning system believes the result to be and is used to draw the light blue shading around the Blue Dot.
  • Distance Between Updates: The physical distance between each position update. Lower values will result in smoother movement of the Blue Dot.
  • Start Space: The space to start the Blue Dot's movement.
  • End Space: The space to end the Blue Dot's movement.
  • Time between updates: The time between each position update can be used to control the speed of the Blue Dot's movements.
  • Path Near Radius: Controls the size of the path shown on the map.
