Hello @Parameshvadivel,

Firebase is used as a database to store all the navigation data, as well as for authentication. Indoor Atlas is used to obtain precise position location within a building, but the points of interest (nodes) are stored in Firebase.

It could be possible to store all the nodes in the app instead of a database, but this would not be ideal because it would be harder to add new points of interest and buildings. This project is not currently maintained, but feel free to make a fork of this project and modify it to suit your needs.

Basically, you currently must use Firebase to use navigatAR. Thanks!

@Parameshvadivel, make sure you're correctly configuring Indoor Atlas. You need to:

1. Create Indoor Atlas account
2. Create a building in Indoor Atlas and upload floor plans
3. Use an Android phone to walk around the building and map out the floors
4. Through the MapCreator 2 app, you should be able to see where Indoor Atlas thinks you are. Make sure the positioning is correct as this is what navigatAR uses.
5. Finally, put in the Indoor Atlas developer keys into the /navigatAR/navigatAR/config.plist so navigatAR can actually use this Indoor Atlas positioning.
6. After correctly setting up Indoor Atlas, you can make out nodes and their locations.

If Indoor Atlas is not configured properly or it doesn't detect any mapped out location, it will fall back to using regular GPS, which is inaccurate. Any problem you have with positioning is an Indoor Atlas issue, not navigatAR. Hope this helps!

I have done all the six steps which you have mentioned. The major issue user current location not lat long is not proper inside building. Can you share this project demo video. Thanks

The only demo video I have is posted in the README of this project. Is the location accurately shown in the Indoor Atlas interface with MapCreator 2 app? Do you maybe need to recreate the nodes and positions? Also make sure that when you create these nodes, wait a minute or more while capturing the node's location for the position to become more accurate.

The important thing is to distinguish whether this is a problem with Indoor Atlas or navigatAR.
