Abstract

Example embodiments use wireless network signals containing geographic data in order to determine a location of a device receiving and/or processing the wireless network signals. For example, the wireless signals may be transmitted as part of a Wide-Area network or Wireless Local Access Network (WLAN) from a wireless access node, commonly present in private and commercial dwellings. Example embodiments and methods may utilize the geographic data in the wireless signals to quickly determine a location in areas and at times when conventional GPS signals are not available. Similarly, example methods and systems may use geographic data from wireless signals to supplement available conventional GPS data in order to more quickly and/or more accurately determine geographic information.
