According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In order to deliver location monitoring and routing modeling without getting a live internet connectX n, this invention offers an offline navigating and mapping system for Android devices. The technique serves users who live in remote, rural, or hilly areas that have weak or no network connectivity. The suggested strategy enables accurate and real-time navigation entirely offline by using the use of GPS surveillance and already- downloaded OpenStreetMap (OSM) data. Java is implemented in Android Studio to build the system, and OSMDroid libraries are added for offline map display. It presents the current position on a local map file stored in the device's internal storage after obtaining real-time GPS information immediately from the sensor. Without mobile data, users are able to navigate, set destinations, and track their route. The approach ensures consistent navigation and minimizes costs associated with data by eliminating dependency on online services like Google Maps. making it suitable lor rural employees. tourists. and consumers in remote regions. An Android application called the Offline Navigation System enables users to view maps and follow journeys without the need for an internet connection. The system displays offline maps and GPS coordinates using OpenStreetMap data that has been incorporated using the OSMdroid library. It facilitates user navigation in isolated locations with poor network access, including hilly or rural areas. The program retrieves the GPS location of the device, shows it on the map, and lets users annotate locations. The system offers a similar experience to online navigation apps by supporting basic map features including zoom, pan, and marker placement. The goal of this project is to provide a dependable and portable offline substitute for conventional navigation systems that can be accessed from anywhere at any time."
