    (1) selecting one of said landmarks;

    (2) collecting first network data;

    (3) interpreting said first network data to determine whether said selected landmark exists;

    (4) identifying related landmarks if said selected landmark exists;

    (5) collecting second network data; and

    (6) interpreting said second network data to determine whether said related landmarks exist; and
