This paper intends to establish the relationship between the heritage content of mobile pedestrian navigation system-augmented reality application and learning processes through mobile devices. In this context, a teaching-learning process will be developed that is linked to urban heritage, determining the educational effectiveness with these tools. The methodological research focuses on two dimensions: 1) technological design of a mobile learning platform and 2) determining educational modes of understanding of the program. A patrimonial thematic unit will result from this design whose significance in mLearning-uLearning processes will be determined, considering the elements of identity and local culture.
