Method And System For Real-Time Sensory-Based Navigation

Systems and methods according to which a mobile application is running on a user's mobile device sends and receives data from a landmark navigation server. The landmark navigation server is coupled to a database that stores landmarks located along a user's route. Additionally, the database can store various data about landmarks, e.g., in connection with a landmark being visible on a street. When a user launches a mobile application, the mobile application prompts the user to enter a starting location and an ending location. Information regarding the starting location and the ending location is sent to the landmark navigation server, which responds, with route information to the mobile application. Via the graphical user interface on the mobile application, the user is then presented with route information, the route information including a heading direction and an orientation with respect to one or more landmarks located along the user's route.
