Wouldn't the WiFi and Bluetooth beacons provide more accurate and more granular points of data than polling GPS for this purpose?


That would require calibration (this is the layout of the store, the receiver is here, reflections can occur here and so on) while a GPS system would allow owners to just connect to a centralized app and bam, here is where all your visitors walked for the last 3 months.


wow, that's your retort/sales pitch for GPS only tracking? it truly needs some work.


Nope, it's simply information, free for everyone to read :) I'm neither selling or arguing for/against anything.
