Reference points are for orientation and recovery
Not a scan at every corridor or turn.
Scanning a QR code at a known point establishes the user's starting position. Navigate then provides sensor-assisted guidance along the route without requiring a scan at every turn.
If positioning drifts or the user becomes unsure, another reference point allows them to quickly re-orientate and continue.

Frequently asked questions
Hospital wayfinding in plain English.
Is Navigate indoor GPS?
No. Navigate is designed to provide an experience as close as possible to turn-by-turn guidance without depending on GPS or the hospital's internal Wi-Fi infrastructure. It follows the user's progress along a defined route, while clearly marked reference points provide a quick way to re-orientate if positioning drifts or the user becomes unsure.
How does Navigate work in hospitals?
A user selects a destination and scans a clearly marked reference point to establish their starting position. Navigate then provides turn-by-turn-style guidance and follows their progress along a mapped route. If positioning drifts or the user becomes unsure, scanning another reference point quickly re-orientates the route.
