Abstract
An approach is provided for validating potential points of interest using device and user characteristics. The validation platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of location information associated with at least one device to determine one or more potential points of interest visited by the at least one device. Next, the validation platform causes, at least in part, a tagging of the one or more potential points of interest with one or more characteristics of the at least one device, one or more users of the at least one device, or a combination thereof. Then, the validation platform causes, at least on part, a validation of the one or more potential points of interest based, at least in part, on the one or more characteristics as captured by at least one other device, one or more other users of the at least one other device, or a combination thereof.
