Claim:
1. A computing device comprising: a processing device; and a storage resource storing instructions which, when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to: determine a desired route of a user within an environment populated with a plurality of beacons, the desired route being associated with a route-specific set of beacons from among the plurality of beacons, individual beacons of the route-specific set having non-overlapping signal detection ranges with other beacons of the route-specific set; determine that a user is within a corresponding non-overlapping signal detection range of a particular beacon of the route-specific set of beacons to provide current location information for the user; determine a next waypoint that the user is expected to reach on the desired route to provide next waypoint information; determine direction information based at least on the current location information and the next waypoint information; generate guidance information based at least on the direction information; and assist the user in reaching the next waypoint by providing the guidance information to the user.
