China search leader Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) has begun the rollout of indoor location services powered by indoor mapping provider IndoorAtlas to the 270 million monthly active users of its Baidu Maps service.
IndoorAtlas had been in beta testing, with the company saying it can pinpoint a location inside a building within 6.5 feet.
