GPS (global positioning system) and mapping industry has been dominated in the recent years by tech giants such as Google. The combination of factors such as the adoption of 5G, advancements in GPS chips (duel frequency GPS chip), the completion of the Galileo constellation in EU and the Beidou constellation of satellites in China together with the underserved pedestrian consumer segment on navigation presents a unique opportunity for disruption in the navigation space. With the launch of these high-precision positioning technologies, it has become possible to create a customized navigation system dedicated to pedestrian markets only. To address this gap, iMerciv, a Toronto based company is building Mapinhood, a navigation system for pedestrians. Mapinhood is being designed as a crowd-sourced system and will offer highly customized path-finding based on user preferences, accessibility needs and actual ground conditions. In the proposed project, iMerciv and Centennial College are partnering to conduct research and development for the routing algorithm and a data collection mechanism. Successful completion of this project will help launch the platform in early 2020. Release of Mapinhood will create highly skilled jobs in Canada over the coming years.

近年来，GPS（全球定位系统）和地图行业一直由谷歌等科技巨头主导。 5G的采用、GPS芯片（双频GPS芯片）的进步、欧盟伽利略星座和中国北斗卫星星座的完成等因素的结合，以及导航方面服务不足的行人消费群体，呈现出独特的发展趋势。扰乱导航空间的机会。随着这些高精度定位技术的推出，创建专门针对步行市场的定制导航系统已成为可能。为了解决这一问题，多伦多公司 iMerciv 正在构建 Mapinhood，这是一种行人导航系统。 Mapinhood 被设计为一个众包系统，将根据用户偏好、可达性需求和实际地面条件提供高度定制的寻路服务。在拟议的项目中，iMerciv 和 Centennial College 正在合作研究和开发路由算法和数据收集机制。该项目的成功完成将有助于在 2020 年初启动该平台。Mapinhood 的发布将在未来几年为加拿大创造高技能就业机会。
