Abstract: Methods are provided for switching networks for a mobile device using location based predictive algorithm. In these methods, a controller obtains a first network coverage map of a first network and a second network coverage map of a second network. The first network and the second network are configured to provide network connectivity to a mobile device. The method further includes the controller tracking the mobile device along a path over which the mobile device travels while the mobile device is connected to the first network, determining that a predicted future location along the path of the mobile device is not serviced by the first network and is serviced by the second network, and causing the mobile device to switch from the first network to the second network based on the mobile device reaching the predicted future location.
