1. A method of maintaining a point of interest data structure using wireless access point data, comprising:
- determining, using a processor, that a point of interest of a selected entry of a point of interest data structure has a point of interest name matching a network name of a wireless access point of an entry from a wireless access point data structure and that location of the point of interest is within a predetermined distance of a location of the wireless access point;
wherein the wireless access point data structure is determined through receipt of messages from a plurality of wireless devices specifying wireless access point data, the network name is a service set identifier of the wireless access point, and the matching is performed based upon matching a string of the service set identifier with a string of the point of interest name; and
responsive to the determining, updating, using the processor, the location of the point of interest of the selected entry with the location of the wireless access point.
