Systems and methods for providing low connectivity point-based navigation

A method comprising:

• determining, using control circuitry, a location of a user device based on location information retrieved from a first locating system;
• based on determining that the user device is near an area with limited connectivity to the first locating system, retrieving, from a memory, a sparse map from a second locating system, wherein the sparse map includes mapping information related to the area with low connectivity to the first locating system;
• detecting that the user device is near a reference point indicated in the mapping information of the sparse map;
• detecting an indicator associated with the reference point;
• retrieving, using processing circuitry, updated mapping information associated with the indicator, the updated mapping information including updated location information of the user device;
• updating, using processing circuitry, the location of the user device based on the updated location information associated with the reference point;
• and
• generating for display navigational directions based on the updated location of the user device.
