The invention relates to the technical field of navigation of substations, in particular to a method for positioning and navigating the 
yard of a substation based on a 
mobile phone APP (application) tool. The method comprises the following steps of 1, downloading 
software, applying for a user, and opening different user authorities; 2, downloading a latest map offline packet; 3, querying the basic conditions of the 
yard of the substation, and determining a target 
yard; 4, positioning the position of the user; 5, planning an 
optimum route, and navigating; 6, finishing the navigation, and feeding back; 7, determining the feedback contents. The method has the advantages that the target yard is determined according to the basic information of the yard, the 
optimum route is calculated according to the historical 
route, and the navigation is performed in character and voice types; the information querying, positioning and 
route navigation functions can be realized, an operation and maintenance person can correctly and efficiently complete 
daily operation, maintenance, yard finding and navigation in the operation and maintenance process, the maintenance task is timely performed, the operation and maintenance efficiency is improved, and the reliability of power supply is improved; by adopting personalized setting, the 
operability and the accuracy in navigation can be effectively improved.
