1. A system comprising:

  • one or more processors; and

    one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations including;

    maintaining a connectivity module in an inactive state;

    receiving an indication at the connectivity module that geographic position information is available at a local location within the system and independent of querying for the geographic position information by the connectivity module, the indication being different than the geographic position information; and

    based on receiving the indication, activating the connectivity module and initiating operations by the connectivity module including;

    retrieving the geographic position information from the local location within the system and independent of querying for the geographic position information by the connectivity module; and

    performing one or more actions in response to retrieving the geographic position information including;

    selecting a wireless network corresponding to a location identified by the geographic position information, said selecting being independent of detecting a wireless transmission from the wireless network; and

    scheduling a network scan to detect the wireless network based on the retrieved geographic position information.
