Abstract: Localization, in the past decades, has been a topic of interest both in academia and in the industrial sector. GPS devices are being widely used in outdoor environments; however, problems with indoor precision have led to the proposal of alternate solutions for navigation using specialized systems, which have greater precision but higher costs associated with them. To this end, with the popularization and enhancement of mobile handsets, their use for accurate navigation at low cost has been widely researched. This work aims to evaluate the resources of such a mobile device, the Google Project Tango tablet, to identify accurate locations and routes.
