Abstract:
Navigation is the process of planning, reading, and controlling the movement from one place to another. Today maps are used by people to find places they have not seen .Using a map is the best choice to navigate people, but there are many challenges face people when using a map so which map do they use. There are many different types of maps. Some maps are used for forecasting the weather, while others are used to plot the population in an area. Learning to recognize what a map has to offer is an important skill. Because of those reasons the researchers develop softwares and devices to provide information and resources about computerized mapping, computerized navigation, and other aspects of technology in geography. This research builds a new software simulation about computerized mapping system to find new characteristics and adds them into the software to make maps easy to use. The software gets natural maps from Google earth and convert them to digital maps then locate certain places on the map .The software users can find the optimum path between places .The users should identify their location for the software by using Geographical Position System (GPS) or from the map and select their departure and destination then the system will give them the optimum path immediately that abbreviated users' time and prevent them from manually searching .This software is the most useful for visitors and tourists
also it can be used by the indigenous populations.
