Abstract/Artist Statement

The Tiger Map App is an Android application that is based around the University of the Pacific’s campus geography. The goal of the Tiger Map App is to provide a mobile interactive experience that will give new and perspective students and families the ability to have a better geographic understanding of Pacific’s campus. The application will implement the campus map used by the University to ensure consistency and familiarity for students who may not be so experienced with the campus. The two features that the application will support will be: browsing and searching for certain buildings and landmarks on campus, and self-navigation from one point to another within the application. For the self navigation portion of the application, Dijkstra’s Shortest Path Algorithm is being used to ensure the student is taking the most efficient path to their destination. The application is currently being developed in Android Studio using Java as the core language.
