(hough the barn didn’t look like a house # it didn’t "&#$$$$$$ have any visible windows, Mary and

You/ll 0eer e3 Los3 Again

Mobile phone maps have guided people through streets and alleys around the globe )ut when those

people step into a sprawling building, they can get lost

Inside, people have to ask strangers for directions or search for a wall map ! number of recently

appeared companies speciali2ed in mapping are charting the interiors of shopping centres, sport

centres and airports (heir maps keep mobile phone users from getting lost as they walk from the

food court to the toilet in a huge shopping centre, for e$ample "ome of their maps might even be

able to locate cans of sardines in a sprawling grocery store

3astMall, one of the indoor mapping companies, has a search engine to help users find stores on its

maps 4nter %)anana +epublic' 5an !merican clothing store6 and the service places a pin on the

map to show the store’s location *ress the %take me there' button and the service offers a route to

the destination (o find the nearest toilet, all that users have to do is shake their phone

%It was my wife’s idea 7 she was si$ months pregnant and she couldn’t find a toilet,' said !nkit

!garwal, chief e$ecutive of 3astMall %It’s the same thing for people in wheelchairs or with

strollers who need an elevator'

8




In some cases these maps show details beyond the basic four walls ! map of the Ikea store shows

an aisle winding through the store and the locations of departments like %children’s' and %wardrobe

systems' Indoor mapmakers are hoping to take the detail even further by allowing users to find

individual products inside stores "hoppers in a grocery store can search for %grapes,' for instance,

and then get a map to the appropriate aisle +etailers lose a large number of customers because

shoppers cannot find what they want

)ecause mobile Internet connections are sometimes difficult to make indoors, some of the services

download their maps onto users’ phones when they first check in on the service If the connection

later fails, the user still has access to the map

3astMall has created a library of nearly ,999 maps, most of them of !merican shopping centres

!nkit !garwal said his team could recreate a shopping centre floor plan in a couple of hours, based

on originals that they find on the websites of the shopping centres %We never have to visit the

place,' Mr !garwal said

3or now, indoor mapmakers are giving most of their attention to shopping centres, although many

of them hope to add casinos, stadiums, universities and hospitals # anything big enough to get lost in

and that draws big crowds (hey are also interested in outdoor destinations like theme parks, 2oos

and urban shopping districts

(he business of indoor mapping is still in its early stages, but with a very keen group of developers

it will soon have a great deal of supporters Mr !garwal said he was e$cited by the prospect of

creating indoor maps of all the buildings that haven’t been mapped so far "peaking about his

service last month at a mobile phone conference at the niversity of California, he looked out of the

window and declared, %I want to map every building on this campus'

Gapped summary:

which customers can find their "2#$$$$$$$ in sprawling buildings 3astMall, for e$ample, gives

Traelling on Two 4heels in 5u6a

My wife and me were covered with sweat, diesel e$haust and sunscreen when we coasted up to a

man wearing /ust#shined shoes and drinking rum from a plastic cup -e looked at our crinkled map,

nodded, told us we probably wanted to go south to the beach at "an Luis and then walked off as we

tried to e$plain that we were headed north

;e$t we tried an older woman, who put on her huge reading glasses to e$amine the map "he held it

upside down and agreed that "an Luis was probably where we were headed

It was 0ay 8 of our biking tour of Cuba, where I navigated the route myself !lthough we were not

fully aware where we were, fortunately, everyone # including a baseball team playing by the side of

the road # was trying to help

We had arrived in Cuba on a late#night flight from "an <ose, Costa +ica, staying that first night in

the home of a friendly, fast#talking couple who rented us a small room in their bright blue -avana

apartment and kindly stored our bicycle bo$es until our return seven days later *edalling west out

of the city, along its seaside roads, we had passed apartment buildings hung with laundry, grand

hotels and nationalist slogans carved in pieces of wood and nailed to telephone poles

;ow we were somewhere in *inar del +io province, the country’s tobacco capital We’d taken a

wrong turn and were trying to find a shortcut back to our route, where our guidebook said we’d find

a small guesthouse to eat something .uickly

We didn’t have reservations or a phone number, but we crossed our fingers, turning down a dirt

road that didn’t appear on the map We hunched our shoulders, pedalled faster and laughed

"oaked and shivering late that rainy afternoon, we finally rolled up to a horse ranch that resembled

an eco#hotel ! young woman who seemed to do all the business tasks of the hotel by herself

offered us a luckily vacant room in the high#ceilinged farmhouse, where a flier beside the bed

boasted such attractions as horseback riding, cockfighting and crocodile#breeding

We opted instead for hot showers and cold mo/itos -owever e$hausted we were, we did not have a

restful sleep because of the occasional cry of a peacock outside our window

(he ne$t morning our lonely#seeming hotelier served us a large plate of locally#grown mango and

pineapple for breakfast and said that we did not have to bother with the chunks of dried mud our

bikes had left in her lobby

=ur took#a#wrong#turn route meant that we had covered a mere 1 miles the day before (hat left us

with nearly 199 miles to our ne$t destination, Maria la >orda, a white#sand beach at the island’s

western tip

In a tiny, cramped store selling an assortment of imported goods, we waited to buy bottled water in

a slow#moving line that snaked toward a counter where a sole cashier was working (he line was

?




full of women who seemed at first not to notice the sweaty foreigners who were unable to tolerate

delay )ut then an older woman with kind eyes turned toward us

%It’s boring for us, too,' she said ! younger woman near the front of the line took pity on us and

pushed us up to the counter ahead of her, where we scored our cold water
