Navigation Aid for Travelers using NavIC Receiver

In India, many navigation devices and applications are based on American GPS system originally known as GPS Global Positioning System which is the most accurate among all the navigation systems and serves the entire globe. The navigation and positioning applications would be at halt, experiences void and the whole infrastructure and organization based on GPS which are currently in use would be collapsed, if America denies access for GPS service. To fill the void and to overcome dependency, India has developed its own regional navigation system originally named as IRNSS Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System and later renamed as NavIC Navigation using Indian Constellation . In the near future all the applications based on GPS service are to be replaced with NavIC. Various attempts have been made to ease travelling across the globe. A number of applications and smart devices have been developed using GPS with different objectives. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a smart portable device using NavIC receiver to assist in travel across India. Using the IRNSS receiver we will get the current location of the person and the person then need to select the destination location from a list of places via GUI. Our application will then direct the person to the destination giving the route map and travel distance.
