Hi all, I'm creating an indoor navigation to help staff/student around, and to locate me, I shall be using QR Code to find where the person is. This is for my thesis, and I just came across JOSM recently and was intrigued should I use JOSM over my intention of developing this application.

Here are some info in what I intend to do without using JOSM.

  1. I intend to create my application using Eclipse or Android Studio.
  2. Use A* algorithm which will find the shortest nodes to find the location - I learnt this in school and thought it would be a good idea to use this.
  3. Design the UI under Eclipse or Android Studio
  4. Create the floor plan and save it as PNG
  5. Code and implement
  6. Testing
  7. Finish

I was thinking should follow my method of making the application or use JOSM?

Any idea to help me conclude on what i should go for would be appreciated.

You are aware that JOSM is mainly an offline editor for OSM data?

So you want to use its sourcecode as a frame for your app? You can try it by stripping off all features you don't need. You can edit the map paint style by JOSM via MapCSS.

See also Routing in general to find opensource projects.

But why not trying other Java opensource software like listed in the OSM wiki at Category:Java ...?
