The present invention relates to a method for positioning a user inside a building, wherein the user has a user carried device (100) and the user carried device (100) is provided with a direction sensor (110) and a movement sensor (110). The method comprises the steps of providing the user carried device with a vector map (220) of the building, wherein the vector map (220) comprises vectors and nodes representing possible movement paths for the user in the building; determining a starting point in the vector map representing a first position of the user; receiving movement information from the movement sensor (110) regarding movement of the user in the building; receiving direction information from the direction sensor (110) regarding the direction of the movement of the user; and estimating a new position of the user based on the vector map, the movement information and the direction information.
