Every year, UNIMAS will receive a new cohort students that comes from across Malaysia either East Malaysia or West Malaysia. UNIMAS also accept registration from international student that want to further study in UNIMAS. A lot of them are not familiar with UNIMAS location as they are new in Kota Samarahan and Kuching Sarawak. For Muslim student, one of the problem that arises from this issue is they do not know the location of Mosque when they hangout or do a field work. A lot of times wasted just for looking a nearby mosque through asking people. This research comes in handy in which it helps to overcome this problem by providing an application that runs on mobile phone. Masjid Nearby is an application that runs on Android platform that provide navigation function for the user from his current location to the selected nearby Masjid. In order to develop this mobile application, the researcher have been using few programming software such as Android SDK, Eclipse and integrated it with Google Maps. The final product of the application have been evaluated with 20 respondent in UNIMAS by using modified Questionnaire of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The Masjid Neaby Mobile Application as final product have been successfully develop.
