    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to localizing mobile devices. In one example, a first location method associated with a first accuracy value may be used to estimate a location of the mobile device. A confidence circle indicative of a level of confidence in the estimation of the location is calculated. The confidence circle may be displayed on a mobile device. When other location methods become available, the size of the displayed confidence circle may be expanded based on information from an accelerometer of the client device or the accuracy of the other available location methods. This may be especially useful when the mobile device is transitioning between areas which are associated with different location methods that may be more or less accurate.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to collecting images of maps 146 at plurality of client devices 170, 171, orienting the images with respect to the Earth, and providing the oriented maps to users. The map images 315, 415, may be collected by users who orient the maps by arranging the position of the image over a picture of the Earth 510. In another example, users may orient the maps by using "pushpins" 620, 630 to indicate the location of two or more points in the map image 415 to two or more locations on the image of the Earth 610. The images may be processed in order to generate high quality images which may then be downloaded and used by other users.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to localizing mobile devices. In one example, a first location method associated with a first accuracy value may be used to estimate a location 62, 70, 70a, 90 of the mobile device 10. A confidence circle indicative 64 of a level of confidence in the estimation of the location 62, 70, 70a, 90 is calculated. The confidence circle 64, 72, 72a, 82, 92 may be displayed on a mobile device 10. When other location methods become available, the size of the displayed confidence circle 72a may be expanded based on information from an accelerometer of the client device 10 or the accuracy of the other available location methods. This may be especially useful when the mobile device 10is transitioning between areas which are associated with different location methods that may be more or less accurate.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to indoor localization, for example, where GPS or other localization signals are unavailable. More specifically, aspects relate to using a particle filter in conjunction with a gyroscope and/or accelerometer (166) to identify a current location of a client device (171) with respect to a map (300). In one example, the map may be based upon a map (300) including a series of walls 310-17 representing locations where a user may not walk within a building. In another example, the map may be based upon a series of rails (1340), (1350), (1360), (1370), (1380) representing locations where a user may walk within a building.

    Abstract: A mobile computing device 160, 180 may be localized in an indoor area based on the strength of wireless network signals accessible in the indoor area from different access points. The localization may be performed in stages. In a first stage, a general geographic area, such as an "island", in which the mobile device 160, 180 is located is identified. In a second stage, an altitude or building level of the mobile device 160, 180 is identified. In a third stage, a position of the mobile device 160, 180 on the identified building level is determined. At least some of these stages of localization may utilize information received at the mobile device 160, 180 from surrounding access points 412-418, 510-518.
