GoMap: combining step counting technique with augmented reality for a mobile-based indoor map locator

In recent years, indoor navigation and localization has become a popular alternative to paper-based maps. However, the most popular navigation approach of using the global positioning satellite (GPS) does not work well indoors and the majority of current approaches designed for indoor navigation doe...
