Abstract
In an approach for providing navigational assistance to a target location in a vehicle parking facility, a processor accesses stored vehicle registration numbers each mapped to a location of a vehicle in a parking facility in a database. A processor associates a user with a target vehicle registration number. A processor receives input of a reference vehicle registration number from a mobile user device at a current location of the user using an input component of the mobile user device and references the database of vehicle registration numbers. A processor identifies a current location in the parking facility by look up of the reference registration number; identifies a user's target location in the parking facility by look up of the target registration number associated with the user; and generates dynamic navigational instructions from the current location to the user's target location for sending to the mobile user device.
