1. A method, comprising:
- determining a location estimate for a mobile device within an indoor pedestrian navigation environment;
receiving a user input indicating one or more destinations within the indoor pedestrian navigation environment;
determining a lowest cost path from the location estimate to the one or more destinations based at least in part on an expected number of navigation instructions associated with the lowest cost path; and
presenting the lowest cost path to the user.
