Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for providing guidance to a user or visitor to an environment to enable the visitor to visit a plurality of locations based on a predetermined list of items are disclosed, the list being determined based on, for instance, items to be purchased from one or more stores, booths at a convention to be visited, or gallery displays at a museum to be viewed. Disclosed is a device carried on or by the visitor that is recognized by a location system stationed at the environment for determining where the visitor is, and a system such as a network at the environment for correlating the location of the visitor and the list to provide routing information to the visitor, such as by presenting the routing information on the device carried by the user or on displays located in the environment.
