Abstract
A computer implemented method or system for creating a route for navigating a transit hub or plaza using an application executing on a user's mobile device. The application accesses a tessellated map comprising first tiles each including a different area of interest on the map; and second tiles including a walkable area connecting the different areas of interest. The application highlights one of the first tiles including one of the different areas of interest selected using input from the user; highlights one of the second tiles including a location of the mobile device on the map; and highlights a series of the second tiles linking the location to the one of the areas of interest. A method of creating the tessellated map is also disclosed.
