Claim:
1. A system for providing directional information comprising: a plurality of infrastructure elements arranged in at least one network configuration, said infrastructure elements having at least one of a physical location identification and a data identification; an interface connected to each of the plurality of infrastructure elements, said interface including at least one of: an input device and a visual output device; a central controller, in communication with said infrastructure elements, responsive to a input received from an input device associated with one of said plurality of infrastructure elements regarding a remote location, assigns a visual indicator to the input received, determines a route of selected ones of said plurality of infrastructure elements between a position associated with the input device providing the input received and an infrastructure element close to the remote location, wherein the selected ones of said plurality of infrastructure elements are generally adjacent infrastructure elements; and provides the assigned visual indicator progressively to each of the selected ones of said plurality of infrastructure elements in the route at a predetermined time for a predetermined period; and wherein the predetermined time is based on a walking speed interval to a next one of said selected infrastructure elements in the route, wherein the walking speed is initially set to a predetermined walking speed and thereafter an average walking speed interval is dynamically determined, based on actual walking speeds of previous walking speed intervals.
