An approach for providing location sharing via simulation is disclosed. A location sharing platform determines at least one location point associated with at least one device and at least one algorithm for determining at least one predicted route of the at least one device based, at least in part, on the at least one location point. The location sharing platform then causes, at least in part, a transmission of the at least one location point and the at least one algorithm to at least one other device for generating location tracking information.

Method and apparatus for providing location sharing via simulation

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for accessing user data and determining one or more nearby individuals at a first time, receiving one or more device identifiers transmitted from other computing devices, and mapping the one or more device identifiers with the one or more nearby individuals. The method, apparatus, and computer program product may also be configured for determining whether each of one or more device identifiers are mapped to a specific individual, and if not, access stored data from previous occurrences in order to map the device identifiers to specific individuals.
