Palm Beach County Commission Vice Chairman Steven Abrams has announced that the county approved a contract to provide Google Indoor Maps for Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA).
Using Wifi, this indoor mapping program will guide travelers around the terminal to find public areas such as stores and restaurants, restrooms, ticket counters, exits, escalator, exits and emergency defibrillators.
For security reasons, information to areas not open to the pubic such as ramps or baggage handling areas will not be available, said Abrams.
There is no cost with Google in providing this service to the public.
“It’s always good to have the latest technology available and even better when there is no cost involved to the taxpayer,” the commissioner said.
