Abstract :
Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation is a popular assistant during a trip. By using a GPS navigation system, the travelers can easily and quickly arrive to the destination in an unfamiliar area. However, there is no free and open-source GPS navigation system which integrates many useful applications. Thus, this paper proposes a GPS navigation system on the Android platform, called Android Mobile Navigation System (AMNS). AMNS not only provides users the GPS navigation function, but also supports Quick Response (QR) code decoding and friend positioning. Furthermore, AMNS is free and open-source software, so service providers or developers can easily extend their own services on this system.
