This navigator communicates with the server to get the map desired . the navigator have many functions like loading a map for online navigation mode , also for offline navigation mode , provide a compass to show the user's direction and Track the user location even if online or offline . The project's aims has been done successfully and the navigator was designed and implemented. The navigator was tested well and the results were good, the detecting of the position and tracking tested well , some limitations were discovered solved well. المستخلص المستخلص َظاو انًﻻدت انشٔبٕث ْٕ حطبٍق ٌسخخذو انٓاحف انزكً انؼًخًذ ػهى َظاو انخشغٍم أَذسٌٔذ نؼًشفت يٕقغ ٔاحجاِ انًسخخذو فً أي يكاٌ ػهى سطخ اﻷسض . ٌٔٓذف ْزا انًششٔع إنى حًكٍٍ انُاس يٍ ٌكٌٕ نذٌٓا حطبٍق ٌكشف ػٍ يٕقؼٓى ػهى انخشٌطت ٔرنك ػٍ غشٌق ٔظغ بشَايج انًسخكشف .ْزا انًﻻح ٌخصم يغ خادو نهذصٕل ػهى انخشٌطت انًشجٕة .َظاو انًﻻدت نّ ٔظائف كثٍشة يثم حذًٍم انخشٌطت ٔ انذصٕل ػهى ٔظغ انًﻻدت ػهى اﻹَخشَج , أٌعا نٕظغ انًﻻدت غٍش يخصم باﻻَخشَج ٔ حٕفٍش بٕصهت ﻹظٓاس احجاِ انًسخخذو ٔحخبغ انًٕقغ انجغشافً نهًسخخذو دخى نٕ كاٌ ػهى احصال باﻻَخشَج أٔ غٍش يخصم. ٔقذ حى حُفٍز اْاف انًششٔع بُجاح، حى اخخباس انًﻻح جٍذا ٔكاَج انُخائج جٍذة، ٔقذ حى حذذٌذ انًٕاقغ باسخخذايّ، ٔحخبغ اخخباسِ بشكم جٍذ، حى اكخشاف بؼط انقٍٕد ٔنكٍ دهج بشكم جٍذ .
