Abstract
In one embodiment, an initial estimated location of a mobile electronic device is determined using a location determination method (LDM). An accuracy for the LDM is determined. An initial set of landmarks is determined based upon the initial estimated location and the determined accuracy. For each landmark in the initial set of landmarks, a likelihood is calculated that the mobile electronic device is located about that landmark. A landmark from the initial set of landmarks is selected based on the likelihoods. The location of the mobile electronic device is set to a known location of the selected landmark.
