Using Custom Google Maps

I want to create an application that offers navigation within my university like across different venues.

Lets say a person has to go from Library to swimming pool that is located within my university campus . There should be a search option like TO and FROM where the user enters the Source and Destination .

And the system comes up with a navigation path.

How can i implement it using google maps ?

I would really appreciate your help

This is the best place to start for what you want:

I'm guessing you want to search from a restricted list as Google probably won't know where the swimming pool or library are. If this is the case then you'll have to set up a database with the coordinates of each location.

I used this tutorial to build a little app and it works really well.

Thanks a lot for you suggestion . I actually went through the same tutorial .

Once i create the database using the respective coordinates of each location , how would the mapping actually look like ?

Because in the tutorial it doesnt actually make use of the coordinates column in the database .

This is where it got me all confused .

I'm not sure about the answer to that one. What I think is that you would map the fields in the database to the fields on the page for the start and end points.
