1. An apparatus comprising:
- a display configured to present an open area map;
a memory configured to store data corresponding to the open area map including an image of a layout representing a real-world area in which a person moves about, wherein the open area map further including an underlying grid; and
circuitry configured to calculate a route from an origin point to a selected destination in the open area map as a function of the underlying grid, wherein the route calculation is not dependent upon one or more path segments determined prior to the route calculation, andwherein the circuitry is further configured to generate a path from the origin point to the selected destination based on the calculation.

Abstract
Systems and methods associated with an open area map are disclosed. For example, one method comprises obtaining an image of a layout. The layout represents a real-world area in which a person moves about. A grid is applied on the image. The grid may include tiles that fill in a ground area of the image. A routable map is generated as a function of the grid. The routable map is configured to provide point-to-point routing within the layout.

13. An apparatus comprising:
-
a memory configured to store an image of a layout, the layout representing a real-world area in which a person moves about; and circuitry configured to apply a grid on the image, wherein the circuitry is further configured to generate a routable map as a function of the grid, and wherein the routable map is displayed on a user interface of a device, the routable map including a representation of the layout displayed on the user interface to provide point-to-point routing within the representation of the layout as a function of the grid, wherein the point-to-point routing includes route calculation not dependent upon one or more path segments determined prior to the route calculation. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
