This research will develop navigation applications for the community that requires guide in the routes towards and locations of health services in city of Semarang. It is based on the literature review that the community does not know all of the locations of the health services because such information is insufficient. The application developed is preceded by a phase of conducting analysis for user requirements including analysis of the ongoing system, analysis of the findings of interview as well as identification of information necessity and system requirements. The designing phase is focused on the Graphical User Interface design of mobile device and Web Admin design. Our design method uses case diagram, Activity diagram, Sequence diagram, and Class diagram. The research has resulted in an application which can give the facility knowledge of the layout and geographic positions nearest to the health service located around the users with supporting information through mobile based Android.
