Abstract

In one aspect, a software application for location determination of a mobile device connected to at least one network is provided. The software application comprises a first input to receive first location information indicative of a first possible location of the mobile device, the first location information obtained from a first source and determined based, at least in part, on signals exchanged over a first wireless connection of the at least one network, a second input to receive second location information indicative of a second possible location of the mobile device, the second location information obtained from a second source and determined based, at least in part, on signals exchanged over a second connection of the at least one network, and a location synthesizer coupled to the first input and the second input, the location synthesizer adapted to determine a synthesized location of the mobile device based, at least in part, on the first location information and the second location information.
