Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for providing an electronic search and guidance application that uses non-address destination designations. In one embodiment, a user enters a particular building identifier via a mobile device. A particular geographic location corresponding to the particular building identifier is determined. Navigation instructions to the geographic location are presented to the user.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by at least one computing device, a specific military installation for which an electronic search and guidance application is to provide navigation;
- receiving, by the at least one computing device, a numerical identifier of a military installation feature from a user through a user interface of the electronic search and guidance application, wherein the numerical identifier is not a portion of a street address, the numerical identifier of the military installation feature uniquely identifies a feature upon the specific military installation, and each of a plurality of features on the specific military installation is assigned one of a plurality of unique numerical identifiers;
- determining, by the at least one computing device, a geographic location corresponding to the numerical identifier of the military installation feature based in part on the specific military installation and location data that maps the numerical identifier of the military installation feature to the geographic location, the geographic location being determined without reference to a user-supplied street address;
- and
- presenting to the user, by an output device of the at least one computing device, navigation instructions to the geographic location.

A system, comprising:
- a memory comprising a data store that stores location data including associations between a plurality of unique feature identifiers and a plurality of geographic locations;
- at least one computing device comprising a processor in communication with the memory;
- and
- an electronic search and guidance application executable in the at least one computing device, wherein when executed the electronic search and guidance application causes the processor of the at least one computing device to at least:
- determine a specific military installation for which the electronic search and guidance application is to provide navigation;
- receive a numerical identifier of a military installation feature from a user through a user interface of the electronic search and guidance application, wherein the numerical identifier is not a portion of a street address, the numerical identifier of the military installation feature uniquely identifies a feature upon the specific military installation, and each of a plurality of features on the specific military installation is assigned one of a plurality of unique numerical identifiers;
- determine a geographic location corresponding to the numerical identifier of the military installation feature based in part on the specific military installation and location data that maps the numerical identifier of the military installation feature to the geographic location, the geographic location being determined without reference to a user-supplied street address;
- and
- present to the user, by an output device, navigation instructions to the geographic location.
6 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in at least one computing device, wherein when executed the program causes the at least one computing device to at least:
- determine a specific military installation for which the program is to provide navigation;
- receive a numerical identifier of a military installation feature from a user through a user interface of the program, wherein the numerical identifier is not a portion of a street address, the numerical identifier of the military installation feature uniquely identifies a feature upon the specific military installation, and each of a plurality of features on the specific military installation is assigned one of a plurality of unique numerical identifiers;
- determine a geographic location corresponding to the numerical identifier of the military installation feature based in part on the specific military installation and location data that maps the numerical identifier of the military installation feature to the geographic location, the geographic location being determined without reference to a user-supplied street address;
- and
- cause navigation instructions to the geographic location to be presented to the user.
