In the UK Google has partnered with museums, train stations, airports and a few other categories such as well known London department stores Harrods and Peter Jones. In total 40 locations have been mapped as of today.

In Switzerland 10 locations have been mapped so far.

The indoor mapping programme of Google started in November 2011 in the United States and Japan. Venue owners are offered to upload their maps and a special Android app has been developed to help them calibrate the map against Google indoor geo-location technologie based on Wi-Fi signal triangulation.
