Over the last decade, there is an increasing trend in the use of
more and more mobile navigation devices. In order to make mobile
navigation more intelligent, issues such as location and context
awareness need to be addressed to offer location-based navigation
services. For example, one might think of a scenario of a large
commercial center where a customer with some mobile device in hand
wishes to go to a drugstore. The system should efficiently identify
the current location of the customer, a list of drugstores located
nearby, the easiest path to the next drugstore and provide routing
and destination suggestions to the customer. In this paper, assuming
that the mobile device gives us the co-ordinates of the current
location of the customer, we present a graph and an octree-based
approach to identify the location of the customer, identify a list
of destinations located in the neighborhood and determine the best
possible destination and the respective path to the destination.
