Abstract
An exemplary geospatial navigation system provides, to a user of a mobile navigation device, navigational guidance along a route from a starting location to a destination location. The geospatial navigation system also identifies a first transportation mode being employed by the user to traverse the route. While the navigational guidance is being provided, the geospatial navigation system receives sensor data generated by a sensor within the mobile navigation device, and determines, based on the sensor data, that the user switches from the first transportation mode to a second transportation mode. In response to the determining that the user switches from the first to the second transportation mode, the geospatial navigation system suspends and/or engages one or more features of the navigational guidance being provided to the user. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
