| Summary: | Map is an effective and useful tool to help navigate towards a location because it
provides a visual representation of the area of interest. Nowadays, navigation and
map are usually associated with GPS (Global Positioning System) which are
accessible through mobile Smartphone. However, there are trsage limitations; one in
particular is that it is not feasible to use indoor (inside a building) due to its signal
being blocked by bricks and mortar. In this case, the common workaround is to look
for the building directory, ask around or look for signboards but there are cases
where the direction instruction given were wrong or confusing and; the signboard is
nowhere to be found. The project goal is to develop an Android mobile application
that provides interactive map of floor plans to mobile users albeit without the GPS
features and the study of perception of distance that discusses the usability of the
mobile application. Another study is focussed on the challenges and best practice of
mobilc application; in ordcr to devclop the application up to a certain standard and
quality. Included is also the study where we will look into market hend of mobile
phone as supporting addition to the overall project.
