Do you mean GPS instead of GPRS? If so, GPS does not work for indoor environments, because the signals tend to attenuate. You can use things like dead reckoning in conjunction with WiFi signal strength fingerprinting to estimate the location of the user, and then direct him accordingly. Of course, this will be limited to a few areas that you map. However, if this is a research project and not a commercial application that you're looking at, I wouldn't worry too much. Be aware though that several such research projects have already been tried out, and so there will be no novelty as such.
