a mobile device comprising a display, a speaker, and one or more processors; one or more memories; and a navigation application stored in the one or more memories, wherein the navigation application executed by the one or more processors:
accesses a tessellated map, the tessellated map comprising a plurality of tiles on a map of a transit hub or plaza, wherein the tiles comprise:
first tiles, each of the first tiles including a different area of interest within a walkable area of the transit hub or plaza on the map; and
second tiles, wherein a combination of the second tiles includes the walkable area connecting the areas of interest; and

causes the display or the speaker of the mobile device coupled to the one or more processors to:
indicate one of the first tiles with at least one of a first color or a first verbal signal, wherein each of the first tiles is a first type of single tile shaped and sized to define, and differentiate a different purpose of, one of the different areas of interest so that the tiles adjacent the first type of the single tile having the different purpose are outside the one of the different areas of interest;
indicate, with at least one of a second color or a second verbal signal, one of the second tiles including a location of the mobile device on the map;
indicate, using at least one of a colored highlighting or a third verbal signal, a series of the second tiles linking the location to the one of the areas of interest along a route; and
identify the one of second tiles with respect to a relevant landmark using a fourth verbal signal to aid with orientation; and

the application requests a destination served using a departure from a boarding area in the transit hub; and
the navigation application automatically determines and indicates the one of the first tiles, comprising the boarding area, using data on a server computer coupled to the mobile device, the data comprising information on the boarding area associated with a transport route serving a destination from the transit hub.
