Abstract:
Finding your way inside large buildings—like campuses, malls, or airports—can be difficult, especially when you’re short on time or in an unfamiliar place. Many existing solutions are expensive or rely on constant internet access. This project presents a mobile app that works both online and offline to help users navigate indoor and outdoor spaces. It uses interactive maps, QR codes for positioning, and a shortest-path algorithm to guide users efficiently. The system is designed to be affordable, easy to maintain, and scalable for different environments.
