Abstract

Surrogate locational determination may rely on a surrogate device to provide a locational fix. When a device lacks an accurate geo-location system, communication may be established with a nearby surrogate device. The surrogate device is queried for an accurate location, such as that determined by a global positioning system receiver. Because the surrogate device is geographically proximate, the location determined by the global positioning system receiver may serve as a proxy or substitute for the local fix of the device.
