I hate big shopping malls. That's why I always need to find the best way to the business and back. #Mapycz and #GoogleMaps are useless for that. POIs are missing, wrongly placed or grouped in the middle of the mall.

But some shopping malls in #Brno are so well mapped in #OpenStreetMap that it can navigate me right to the business. And that even includes changing floors and using escalators. 👍

A screenshot from mapy.cz app. Most POIs are grouped in the center of the shopping mall.
A screenshot from Google Maps. The destination POI is misplaced and it only navigates you to the entrance of the shopping mall.
A screenshot from OsmAnd. The POI is correctly placed and it navigates you right to it even through an escalator.

In my neighbourhood I am trying to add indoor details to shopping malls, so that individual rooms can be rendered floor by floor.
I hope OsmAnd will implement an indoor view to maps one day.

@stepan This is really cool! The only thing that is holding me from spending time on it as well is that most map apps can't render it. :/
