Project Abstract
Most students and employees of the university, especially the new ones, find it difficult to reach places that are not frequently visited. They often ask others to guide them to a place and may not find the correct answer or follow written instructions that might be old, not updated or unclear. This project allows the users to reach their destination within the university building in the shortest way through an interactive map containing most of the locations and names of libraries, departments, labs, stairs, lifts, deanships and classrooms .. etc , as much as possible in the project implementation area and instructions to reach the destination (very similar to GPS but its IPS (indoor positioning system)). These locations will be detected using specific algorithms that handle Bluetooth signals from Beacons which are Bluetooth radio transmitter installed in specific locations within the University building and use Wi fi signals to locate the user
