Abstract
An approach is provided for sensing based on route bias. The goal processor processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more geo-routes, one or more location anchors, or a combination thereof associated with one or more devices to determine proximity information of the one or more devices to one or more sensing goals. The goal processor causes, at least in part, a selection of at least a subset of the one or more devices to participate in the one or more sensing goals based, at least in part, on the proximity information.
