Abstract: Universities all over the world have many buildings and
facilities distributed inside and outside of their campus location, and they
are used by students for different reasons such as academic, entertainment,
services, etc. These may include faculty buildings, cafés, libraries,
restaurants and others. For newly registered students and even current
students, locating the location and the route to a certain facility is a
troublesome task. This task is even more difficult for foreign and non-local
students. Therefore, taking into consideration the advantages of digital
guiding and navigation systems over static paper maps, a system was developed in
order to guide students to facilities both inside and outside the university
campus. This paper introduces the stages of development of such systems and
their main features. In addition, the search operation and locating the
shortest path to any place of interest are also described.
