When do indoor digital maps usually make sense?

When the environment has many destinations, frequent changes, high traffic or a large volume of questions about locations, services and routes.

Is an indoor digital map the same as a kiosk?

No. The digital map is the guidance layer. It can appear on kiosks, mobile, web or other digital surfaces depending on the project.
