Aspects of the present invention disclose a method for improved directional information. The method includes one or more processors identifying one or more images of a location corresponding to a destination of a set of navigational instructions. The method further includes determining respective ratings for the identified one or more images based on crowd sourced ratings of the identified one or more images from individuals that have previously travelled to the destination. The method further includes determining an entrance location for the destination based on the crowd sourced ratings of the identified one or more images. The method further includes determining at least one image, of the one or more images, that depicts the determined entrance location. The method further includes generating directional information to the entrance location by overlaying directional information on the determined at least one image that provides an indication of the determined entrance location.
