1. A method comprising:

  • obtaining, by a device, a first two dimensional image providing a first person perspective, along a first heading from a first position at a first latitude and longitude pairing on a map, of a building comprising a business;

    receiving, by the device, from a user a first identifier in the first two dimensional image of a first edge of the business relative to the building, the first identifier associated with a first axis directed based on the first heading in a direction of the first edge of the business and passing through the first position on the map;

    receiving, by the device, from the user a second identifier in the first two dimensional image of a second edge of the business relative to the building, the second identifier associated with a second axis directed based on the first heading in a direction of the second edge of the business and passing through the first position on the map;

    receiving, by the device, from the user a third identifier in the first two dimensional image of an entrance to the business relative to the building, the third identifier associated with a third axis directed based on the first heading in a direction of the entrance of the business and passing through the first position on the map;

    identifying, by the device, a first point on the first axis and using the first point to identify the first edge of the business in the building on the map;

    identifying, by the device, a second point on the second axis and using the second point to identify the second edge of the business in the building on the map;

    identifying, by the device, a third point on the third axis and using the third point to identify the entrance of the business in the building on the map; and

    providing, by the device, directions between an origin point and a third latitude and longitude pairing, on the map, associated with the entrance to the business.
