Paper Abstract:	With the advancement in technology cities are getting smarter and becoming more livable and responsive. In the next few years, we expect a significant rise in the use of data and technology to make better decisions and improve the quality of life. Outdoor navigation using GPS is relatively easy but finding way indoors is still considered as a frenetic task. We aim to use data from multiple sources to create a detailed profile of the geographic information for every individual which can be easily used and securely accessed whenever needed. In this paper, we propose a method for indoor navigation which guides the user to a specific spot using smart phones. Here A* algorithm is used to find the shortest path between two points on the map and ArcGIS software for creating the map data. The generated map along with the required services are hosted on Osiris, an open-source indoor map rest API server. The sever is connected to a front end using an Android application developed with Android Studio. This can be applied across large companies which are situated in sprawling campuses.
