Abstract: A routing system can be configured to determine a route based on availability and reliability of location reference devices to determine a most reliable route between a source and a destination. A reliability rating associated with each route of a plurality of routes can be determined based, at least in part, on a count of navigation satellites available along the route. The reliability rating can be indicative of an ability of the routing system to maintain continuous connectivity to the navigation satellites along each of the plurality of routes. The reliability ratings of the plurality of routes are compared to identify and to present one of the plurality of routes as a referred route.

Abstract: Embodiments include using a wireless access point (AP) as a landmark to aid precise wireless indoor positioning of a mobile device. The AP transmits a wireless indoor positioning signal with a predetermined or known frequency and power that is typically only able to be detected and decoded by any of various types of mobile devices that are within a predetermined “close” range of the AP. Based on positioning the mobile device within the predetermined range, the device may calibrate one or more physical sensors of the mobile device for indoor positioning. Such wireless landmarks provide more accurate, efficient, automated and reliable wireless indoor positioning and sensor calibration.
