Abstract
A method of navigation guidance includes providing a communications node (104, 106), and a remote communications node (108). The remote communications node (108) requests a navigation route (201, 301) from communications node (102, 104, 106). The navigation route (201, 301) is from a location (202) to a destination location (204). The navigation route (201, 301) is transmitted to remote communications node (108), where the navigation route (201, 301) includes a plurality of route segments (207, 210, 211, 212, 213, 254) based on location (202). The plurality of route segments include a set of multiple route threads from location (202) to destination location (204).
