eMap: Mobile App : Map Directory of EVSU Main Campus with Web-Based Management Panel

Abstract

The Eastern Visayas State University - Tacloban Campus is a vast campus - which suggests that it is more confusing and complicated with regards to locating the rooms, buildings, etc. inside the university. Through the "eMap: Mobile App Map Directory of EVSU Main Campus with Web-Based Management Panel," we can lessen or even give an end to this problem. This mobile app is a map wherein you can track your current location, browse over the directories of the campus and trace the shortest and possible routes to your destination inside the university[1]. And to satisfy the users more, we added the News and Updates feature, to keep them updated on the latest events and happenings in the university [2]. The application is a navigation app, so we apply GPS to acquire location data. Since the map data from Mapbox is outdated and not detailed, we integrated an OpenStreetMap to enhance the map layout. Then through a local database, we stored the latitude, longitude, zoom, and bearing of each building to place a marker on their position. Just like most of the other mobile applications, the Android Studio is the development tool of the project.
