The HaptiMap toolkit has been evaluated by professional developers and students. Voices from the evaluation:
-
"I’ve had quite a few bad experiences with projects in Google Code and Eclipse .. this one was flawless”
-
“some of the functionality is inherently very complex ... nevertheless, it was easy to use the underlying functionality”
-
“HaptiMap is far ahead of what current engines can provide”
-
-
Accessible map and LBS content guidelines published.

Intermodal routing and pedestrian navigation is becoming an increasingly sought-after functional requirement for many mass-market mobile apps. For vehicle drivers a variety of map-matching methods and corresponding APIs exist that can be applied to increase the perceived accuracy of the user's current position on a map. For pedestrian navigation, however, where it is essential to provide accessible guidance of users in a safe corridor, no such APIs exist. The recently released Safe Corridor Pedestrian Navigation (SCPN) module of the HaptiMap toolkit provides a variety of interaction and geographical methods and components that enable the extraction of an SCPN-API to support the development of various pedestrian navigation apps.
