UIC Open Maps Application

This project is a navigation application for the UIC campus map. Map data is sourced from Open Streets Map.

Project originally based and original files from UIC Data Structures course.

How it works

First, the user is asked to choose a map data file.

Then the user is asked to input 2 buildings as two starting points. The program then finds the shortest path possible between the midpoint of said buildings. The path returned is a list of path nodes collected using the map data, along with the distance one would need to travel from each start points to the midpoint.

Files

• application.cpp - The main file of the project. Contains the main functionality of the project.
• graph.h - An implementation of a graph as an adjaceny list. Used to store the map data.
• dist.cpp - Contains helper functions to calculate distance between points
• osm.cpp, tinyxml2.cpp - Used to extract information from map data
• map.osm, uic.osm - Map data files
• application.exe - An compliled executeable of the project
