Abstract

An illustrative example embodiment of a location determining device includes a processor that is configured to determine an indicated distance between a first detector and a source based on a signal originating at the source and detected by the detector, determine a second distance between the source and a second detector that does not have a direct signal path to the source based on a signal originating at the source and detected by the second detector, and determine a reliability of the indicated distance for determining the location by determining whether the indicated distance corresponds to a direct signal path between the first detector and the source based on a difference between the indicated distance and the second distance.
