Indoor location tracking projects
SlashGeo picked up on a recent Geowanking mailing list discussion of indoor location tracking options. I decided to pull all of the responses together into a single list for easy clickage.
I would also suggest checking out and/or subscribing to bookmark lists like http://del.icio.us/tag/geolocation+wifi.
