1. A method for micro-navigation of a mobile object, the method comprising:
receiving at a server a workflow for a mobile object, the workflow comprising an origination location of the mobile object, a destination site of the mobile object, and a route to the destination;
guiding the mobile object utilizing macro-navigation to travel from the origination site to a macro/micro route interface site;
initiating a micro-navigation guidance protocol upon approach to the macro/micro route interface site; and
guiding the mobile object using the micro-navigation guidance protocol from the macro/micro route interface site to a terminal location within the destination site.
