In the approach, location information from a mobile device is received, wherein the location information includes a sampling of location coordinates of the mobile device over a period of time. A processor generates a path, using the sampling of location coordinates of the mobile device over the period of time. A processor compares the path to geographic information system (GIS) data associated with the received location information. A processor determines additional location information based on the path and the GIS data.
