Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021055384A1] A system and method for micro-navigation of a mobile object (1000) is disclosed herein. Micro-navigation provides guidance to destinations that are not normally found on maps or in navigation systems. In one micro-navigation method, data is collected (1501) related to route transit to specific end points that are not typically mapped. The end points are identified (1502) by relating specific geo coordinates, or physical landmark based characteristics, or electronically described and defined end point to an identification that will be entered and stored in a location database. Guidance (1503) is provided to vehicles traveling to those end points or destinations, with additional information relevant to a route and/or a specific vehicle and configuration updated and made available to the system.
