Augmented GPS Navigation: Enhancing the Reliability of Location-Based Services

Abstract

Google maps have been playing an important role in navigation and assisting many people out. There with its powerful positioning capability. The application is in itself a use case to navigation. With a global positioning system which keeps track of the device with utmost accuracy hence it has been adopted by most people. The orientation of google maps is hence been calculated via latitude and longitude at that instant to destination address in shortest distance traveling and the use case has been further developed to make sense of traffic irregularities and find a perfect path which obeys its minimum requirement with shortest path and least traffic possible. The shortest path from source to destination is hence been optimized with the A* algorithm which improves the accuracy and get the best three hops from the current grid position. The targeted points are located where the gradual area recognition is heavy hence to make the accuracy top notch. The proposed Navigation system demonstrates an accuracy of 90.3%.
