A system for establishing positioning map data and a method for the same are provided. The method includes: obtaining an area map of a target area; setting collection points and a collection path; configuring a Wi-Fi fingerprint collecting device to obtain the area map, the collection points and the collection path; configuring an environmental sensing module to perform environmental sensing on surrounding environment to obtain environmental information; performing a positioning procedure to determine a location of the Wi-Fi fingerprint collecting device in the target area based on the environmental information and the area map to generate positioning information; executing a navigation procedure to move the Wi-Fi fingerprint collecting device along the collection path; determining whether or not the Wi-Fi fingerprint collecting device passes through one of the collection points; and executing a collection procedure to store collected Wi-Fi fingerprint data and positioning information to create positioning map data.
