1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an interface;
a location estimator operable to receive data from a device via the interface;
wherein the location estimator is operable to estimate a location of the device based on data received via the interface based on a first location classification; and
wherein the location estimator is operable to estimate the location of the device based on data received via the interface based on a second location classification while a predefined condition exists.

Abstract
In an example embodiment, there is described herein an apparatus comprising an interface and logic operable receive data from a device via the interface. The logic is operable to estimate a location of the device based on data received via the interface based on a first (e.g. default) location classification. The logic is further operable to estimate a location of the device based on data received via the interface based on a second location classification responsive to a predefined trigger.
