1. A method comprising:
- requesting, by a user device, location information for a location reference device (LRD);
receiving, by the user device and based on the request, the location information for the LRD via a cellular network connection;
transmitting, by the user device and via the cellular network connection, an instruction to direct the LRD to activate a non-cellular radio on the LRD;
receiving, by the user device, wireless signals outputted via the non-cellular radio;
determining, by the user device, a distance between the user device and the LRD based on a strength of the wireless signals received by the user device; and
audibly or visually indicating, by the user device, the determined distance between the user device and the LRD.

Abstract
A device may request location information for a location reference device (LRD); receive, based on the request, the location information for the LRD via a cellular network connection; transmit, via the cellular network, an instruction to direct the LRD to activate a non-cellular radio on the LRD; receive wireless signals outputted via the non-cellular radio; determine a distance between the user device and the LRD based on a strength of the wireless signals received by the user device; and audibly or visually indicate, by the user device, the determined distance between the user device and the LRD.

9. A system comprising:
a user device, comprising; a non-transitory memory device storing; a plurality of processor-executable instructions; and a processor configured to execute the processor-executable instructions, wherein executing the processor-executable instructions causes the processor to; request location information for a location reference device (LRD); receive, based on the request, the location information for the LRD via a cellular network; transmit, via the cellular network, an instruction to direct the LRD to activate a non-cellular radio on the LRD; receive wireless signals outputted via the non-cellular radio; determine a distance between the user device and the LRD based on a strength of the wireless signals received by the user device; and audibly or visually indicate, by the user device, the determined distance between the user device and the LRD. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
