For this hackathon, we integrated MappedIn into the Power Platform. They are a top provider of indoor mapping solutions, offering advanced tools for creating multi-floor maps and optimized direction systems, much like Google Maps for interiors.

We developed a PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) using MappedIn’s React-based SDK documentation. This allowed us to embed their robust mapping and navigation functionality directly into Dynamics 365. The solution enables users to visualize spaces, navigate between rooms, and even calculate optimal routes within buildings.

To access MappedIn’s advanced features, we secured a paid trial by collaborating with their team, who were intrigued by our use case. This partnership not only enriched our project but also highlighted the value of integrating third-party APIs to accelerate innovation and improve user experience in the Power Platform.
