A method for improving accuracy of a raw GPS positioning of an untargeted pedestrian device wherein the pedestrian device receives from a nearby vehicle device a message containing a calculated offset between a raw GPS location of the vehicle and a corrected location of the vehicle, the message being received as a direct consequence of the pedestrian device and the vehicle device coming into mutual communication range without a need for pairing between the two devices. The calculated offset is applied to the raw GPS positioning of the pedestrian device to obtain a more accurate location of the pedestrian device.
