Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described for reducing error in geo-reference data. One embodiment estimates a plurality of distortion error values corresponding to a first set of geo-reference data based on one or more map constraints, generates a second set of geo-reference data by correcting the distortion error values in the first set of geo-reference data, and estimating an offset value corresponding to the second set of geo-reference data using a position determination technique. The offset value may be used to reduce systematic error in the second set of geo-reference data.

Abstract: Methods and devices are described for providing localized secure navigation in conjunction with near field communication access control systems. In one potential embodiment, a mobile device such as a cell phone may communicate with a door access control point using near field communication to receive location access system information. The mobile device may then authorize download and execution of a local secure navigation module from a location access system using the location access system information for use in receiving location assistance data, based on an authentication level associated with the mobile device. Such location assistance data may be used by the local secure navigation module to provide location assistance when the mobile device is in a secure location. The location of the mobile device may then be tracked using at least the location assistance data and the communication with the door access control point.
