Abstract: Nav igation is a technique which basically focuses on process of monitoring and controlling the movement of person or vehicle or craft fro m one place to another e.g.: Land navigation, Marine Navigation, Aeronautic Navigation etc. The campus navigator is the android mobile applicat ion which is basically used for navigating routes inside any campus premises e.g.: Mall, Co llege, Hospital etc... Mobile phones are nowadays far mo re tha n merely devices to communicate with. Especially, Smartphone’s are products that help to make our work and everyday life easier. A long with the advance in technology and popularity of these devices, the use of mobile applications has increased enormously in the last few years. Based on new techniques like GPS, sensors, compass and accelerometer, that can used to determine the orientation of the device, location -based applications coupled with augmented reality views are also possible. There are several co mmercial navigation applications - such as Google Maps, Yahoo Maps and Map quest that provide users with directions fro m one place to another. Ho wever, these applications must search along existing roads; they are not able to provide routes that are as precise as an on-campus path would require.
