Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing binaural navigational cures. In one aspect, a method includes presenting audio media in a non-directional playback state that presents the audible media in an original format, iteratively determining a navigational heading relative to a current navigational course, the navigational heading indicative of a direction to face to proceed along a navigational route, and for each iteration, determining whether a change is required to the current navigational course based on the navigational heading. For each determination that a change is not required to the current navigational course, presenting the audio media in the non-directional playback state, and for each determination that a change is required to the current navigational course, changing the non-directional playback state to a directional playback state that presents the audible media in a modified format that is directional from the navigational heading. |

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
presenting, by a user device, audio media in a non-directional playback state that presents the audio media in an original format over a plurality of audio channels, wherein the presentation in the original format over the plurality of channels is not directionally related to a navigational route; determining a current navigational course of movement of the user device; determining that the current navigational course of movement should change to a navigational heading that is indicative of a direction to face to proceed along the navigational route; in response to determining that the current navigational course of movement should change to the navigational heading that is indicative of a direction to face to proceed along the navigational route, changing the non-directional playback state to a directional playback state that presents the audio media in a modified format that is directional from the navigational heading. |
