At the 2015 Innovation conference hosted by the Geek Park, Gould officially released the interior map of the high-German map, providing users with services such as maps, interior positioning, and interior route planning. In this connection, Alibaba Group UC Mobile group President Yu said: "LBS (location information Services) as the Internet and map of the Cross-border integration of the product, ' non-internet ' ability and Internet capacity is equally important, can not ignore the importance of map professional. ”

Industry experts pointed out that the current user's daily travel in the interior map of the relevant needs are increasingly strong. For example, large shopping malls, general hospitals, transport hubs (airport railway stations, etc.), such as the typical complex indoor environment, do not understand the layout of the building, can not find the corresponding location has become a pain point for users. To this end, as early as 2013, Gould began to explore the interior map, up to now has covered the country's one or two-line cities more than 2000 buildings. Not only that, through technical innovation, the interior map of the gold map can now reach the positioning accuracy of 3~5 meters, floor positioning accuracy of more than 95%, in the industry leading position.

The reason to spend so much effort on the interior map business, Yu, explains: "There are so many cross-border explorations of the Internet as a driving force, and many entrepreneurs blindly believe that internet thinking can subvert everything, but it is not accurate." Yu pointed out that the Internet is equivalent to "physical" and "thinking", responsible for "running fast", traditional business ability is a Cross-border "soul", can make Cross-border business "long run."

It is based on this view that, from last September, he announced his focus on the field of travel and location information services to continuously upgrade their professional map data capabilities. According to the introduction, the country has the largest and most professional surveying and mapping team, data production, research and development staff of nearly 1300 people. At present, the gold is already one of the biggest underlying data providers in China, and the new four-dimensional graph occupies more than 90% of the map data market share.

In this respect, Yu said: "Data is the body of the map manufacturers, and map professional ability is the business of lbs, Internet thinking can not replace them." "Everyone should be awed by professionalism, not blindly thinking that the Internet can easily revolutionize everything," says Yu. "To really do a cross-border business, the Internet and non-Internet capabilities are as important as the soul's pace must be consistent with the body, not to let the body lose its soul." ”
