SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING LOW CONNECTIVITY POINT-BASED NAVIGATION

Low connectivity reference point-based navigation is provided. The disclosed systems and methods determine 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, a sparse map is retrieved from a second locating system. Such a sparse map includes mapping information related to the area with low connectivity to the first locating system. The systems detect that the user device is near a reference point indicated in the mapping information of the sparse map. The disclosed systems detect an indicator associated with the reference point and updated mapping information associated with the indicator that includes updated location information of the user device is retrieved. The disclosed systems update the location of the user device based on the retrieved location information associated with the reference point.
