Abstract
An embodiment of the invention includes a plurality of navigational position sources (208) disposed to provide position data, a position service module (202) to form a composite of position data (240) and a position session module (204) to transmit composite of position data (240) to applications (210, 212, 214, 216). An embodiment of a method includes providing a plurality of navigational position sources (208) disposed to provide position data, providing a position service module (202) disposed to receive position data, and form composite of position data (240). Composite of position data (240) is then transmitted to one or more applications (210, 212, 214, 216) via a position session module (204).
