For some people to reach their destination and complete their daily tasks, navigation systems serve as an aid, a tool, or an assistance. Currently, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) lacks an in-building navigation system that could assist users, particularly new students, in finding their way to the location of their choice. This paper has two goals. This study first examines the current campus navigation systems and the relevant research article. Second, this work suggests a mobile navigation system that facilitates user navigation within Kuliyyah of Information and Communication Technology (KICT) facilities. Methods used to build the application were according to Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The suggested navigation application, NavigateMe, helps users navigate within buildings by providing sequential instructions and images of landmarks along the route. It stands out for being usable even in the event of sporadic internet connectivity. In conclusion, visitors and the IIUM community, particularly the new students of KICT, will benefit from an in-building navigation application like NavigateMe to effortlessly reach their destination.
