1. A computer implemented method of selecting from a database containing the location of a plurality of real properties a best match real property based on at least one of location data and sensor data received from a mobile computing device having a camera and a fixed position, comprising the steps ofreceiving from said mobile computing device via a communications network at least one of said location data and said sensor data,determining a location of said fixed position of said mobile computing device based on at least one of said location data and said sensor data and further determining a level of accuracy of said location determination, said level of accuracy expressed in terms of a distance,determining a heading in which said camera is pointing based on at least one of said location data and said sensor data,selecting a starting point by moving backward along said heading a distance equal to said level of accuracy,designating an area comprising a circular sector centered at said starting point, having a radius and a central angle, said central angle centered on said heading,selecting as candidate properties, from said property database, all properties within said area,calculating an angle between said heading and a line drawn between said starting point and each said candidate property,assigning a first score to each candidate property based on said calculated angle, said first score being at least one component of a composite score of each candidate property, andselecting as a best match the candidate property having the best composite score.
