our customer want's to have a BLE (ibeacon or eddystone) based indoor navigation / wayfinding (turn-by-turn navigation) in his shopping mall app (ios/ android).

he has already uploaded and created all floor plans/ indoor maps here:
http://www.google.com/maps/about/partners/indoormaps/

the idea is, to equip the mall floors with BLE devices and use them as non-gps-trigger for a indoor position which will be shown on the already uploaded floor plans/ indoor maps.

Or should i equip the floors with BLE devices and use the Google Maps Floor Plan Marker once again ? Because google says:

To further improve location information, Google periodically sends in-field operators into some stores to run scans. Operators use the Floor Plan Marker app to scan for publicly available information, like Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth BLE, and cell tower signals.

I think the gps in google map is not accurate.

Estimote indoor SDK would be the way you can try.

P.S. Estimote is one type of beacon that can emit BLE
