i am working on a project which requires me to build an indoor svg map that can be run on android.it is supposed to display current position of user and they should also be able to ask for directions and be shown a route. i am NOT using gps for coordinate system but i want to use unique ids send by LED(light emitting diodes) so this means i have to create my own coordinate system. so to summarise my questions are:

-how do i load my own svg maps without using prebuilt base maps since its an indoor plan for a specific building

-how do i add my own coordinate system unique to my building only

I could be wrong, but I'm not sure you can create your own custom WKID/spatial reference for use by the JSAPI. You can use custom spatial references, for sure:

ArcGIS API for JavaScript | Extent/Bounds Helper

But I think you'd need to choose from the list of supported WKIDs/WKTs:

When you say LEDs, are you referring to Li-Fi? Also, if you're not doing this as some sort of project, I would recommend looking into Aruba Beacons for indoor locating and routing:

Aruba Beacons | Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company

It would make what you're looking to do a bit easier.
