A method of providing connection source recommendations using a database of historic data on connectivity starts with a processor receiving location and connection information from each mobile device. Location information may identify a location of each mobile device, respectively. Connection information may identify one of the connection sources as a preferred connection source used to identify the location of each mobile device, respectively. The connection source may be Global Position Satellite (GPS), cell tower, or WiFi access point. Processor may then store, in database, location and connection information.
