Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to present a research and development of an intelligent system for mobile phones that can helps users finding the shortest path from a point-of-interest to another point-of-interest within Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) main campus. Research is done to acquire an optimal navigation solution which primary goals is to provide shortest-path calculation. A mobile application based on Android that allows user to find a location quickly with minimum effort and collaborate with other users to enhance the experience of route-planning has been developed. Preliminary evaluation suggests that the proposed methods and the mobile application are helpful for the users in finding their point of interest within shortest time possible.
