INDIA Prof. Gyanendra Pal Saroha Director, University Computer Centre, Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak, (Haryana) INDIA ABSTRACT In navigation system a major issue is to find out the best path from several paths available but what about the path when no road maps are available. Then it is required to design the application which works in rural areas where no road maps are available. DN navigation application is developed with the solution of navigation in rural areas with the movement of user by direction. This features helps to move by providing the direction as input with kilometers that user want to cover, when user covered the predefined distance then automatic alarm is generated to intimate the user about the covered distance in given direction. With this move by direction feature user can tag a location for the future reference so that whenever user again navigate then that tagged location will help the user to navigate using given landmark. This feature is beneficial for user who lives in rural area and can use efficiently this application their mobile phones.

INTRODUCTION Travelling from one place to another station plays is an important role and found challenging due to several misguiding applications are available. Generally people uses the android application for navigation from one place to another but hardly few application is efficient with certain number of limitation. When the navigation using road map is used by user then various application provides the route for the intended destination, but when navigation in rural areas is the challenge then no application provide the accurate information of location as well as final destination due to unavailability of road maps.
