Presenter: Kyle Buttress
While the ability to use Google maps in built directly into the SDK for iOS, the level of details for navigation through our specific campus’s was not acceptable for our needs. With the use of our facilities maps and Core Location we have been able to develop a simple user navigation application for use on campus. The application shows your current location and the location of your destination, additional information includes approximate distance to destination and directional arrows.

This presentation will show some of the systems and methods we used to place reasonably accurate location markers on custom maps, using triangulation and pixel to GPS point conversions. The application uses UIScrollView and Core Location, on top of other core iOS API’s.
