In WWDC 2014 session 708 Apple gave a introduction about indoor positioning. The indoor positioning is a area which cannot be covered using GPS as the signals are not expected to be accurate enough inside steal and concrete structure.So the the available signals were WiFi and beacons using BLE.
In order to get the venue mapped we have to setup/overlay the venue layout over the geographical map and manage the conversions between Geographic coordinate systems (Latitude/Longitude), floor plan PDF coordinate systems (x,y), and MapKit coordinates.There is a footprint application code available at apple developer.
But before you jump to get your house mapped and start tracking your cat you have to get your venue indoorpositioning enabled by apple.
You can signup at Apple Map Connect
