In our daily lives, different solutions are produced and technologies are used for the need to find a specific place in indoor or outdoor areas. While GPS technology is used for many different purposes in outdoor areas, here is not yet a general solution/ technology for locating the problem in indoor areas. The most basic problems of approaches developed for in indoor areas are the modeling of indoor areas and the determination of the user's location. In this study, we propose a general solution model for indoor area navigation system. A web application was developed for modeling buildings in 2D plane. Besides, a mobile navigation application was implemented for indoor areas. Mobile application are intended to minimize the loss of time during finding places in indoor areas for users. For this purpose, the shortest path algorithm (A* algorithm) for mobile application has been added to the study.
