1. A method for determining desired physical locations of reference points for use in identifying geographic locations of mobile terminals in an area of interest within a wireless network, the method comprising:
- inputting information pertaining to a plurality of reference terminals in the wireless network, the information including respective location information for each of the reference terminals;
generating, based on the input information, a visual display illustrating the locations of the reference terminals, along with a visual indication representing expected levels of precision in geo-location calculations for determining respective geographic locations of the mobile terminals in the wireless network; and
analyzing the levels of precision in the area of interest to update the visual display with the location information of the reference terminals and the levels of precision in geo-location calculations for determining respective geographic locations of the mobile terminals.

Abstract
A system and method for presenting an interactive visual feedback, based upon input parameters, indicating quality levels in terminal location detection in a network at selectable points on a map. The system and method includes an application in which a user provides information regarding network terminals, terminal locations, and map parameters. In response, the application then provides a visual indication of expected accuracy in geo-location calculations for terminals at specific points in a network map.
