Dear Shashi / Prabhu I am answering both of you through this mail. Google is on its way to provide indoor navigation. They have also started this service at India too. However, there is indoor navigation for a few select buildings presently. I did not get a chance to check that out. However, I don't think it can guide you to tell where the wall is etc. For that you should use the cane or better still the smart cane. GPS receiver is the hardware part of the system. You need an application to guide you through. Guide Dot is one such GPS app. Harish Kotian
