ABSTRACT
Mobile phones are nowadays, far more than merely communication devices. In particular, Smartphones and Tablets are products that help to make our works and everyday life easier. Along with the advance in technology and popularity of these devices, the use of mobile applications increased enormously in the last few years. Based on new techniques like Global Positioning System (GPS) and sensors, like compass and accelerometer, that can determine the orientation of the device, location-based applications coupled with augmented reality views are possible. In the context of this project, a navigation system that incorporates mobile application for Tai Solarin University of Education is developed. The system architecture and design were presented. The technologies used for the implementation of the application include Google Map API, HTML, Android development kit and Intel XDK. The resulting application enables the user to find paths to specific locations and provide location-based information on buildings, road and other facilities in the campus. This application developed offers visitors the ability to explore university campus facilities via mobile devices
