Abstract
Provided are methods, systems, devices, apparatuses, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for navigation and geocoding. The disclosed technology can perform operations including accessing semantic tags associated with images. Each of the semantic tags can be associated with features depicted by one of the images. Further, each of the features can be associated with a geographic location. Based on the semantic tags, landmarks that include the features that satisfy entropic criteria can be identified. The entropic criteria can measure a localized prominence of each of the one or more features. A landmark for use in navigation at the location can be selected based on context data associated with a location on a path that includes a plurality of locations. Furthermore, at least one navigational instruction that references the landmark can be generated.
