First Claim
1. A method of provisioning a location determination system having a first database which is initially provisioned with a first location information, wherein the first database comprises location information that complies with a regulatory scheme and the regulatory scheme comprises requirements for location information supplied to an emergency service provider, comprising:
- receiving a second location information that is different from the first location information being used by the location determination system, wherein the first location information and the second location information comprise information related to a location of a base station;
determining a location change metric based upon the first location information and the second location information;
provisioning a second database of the location determination system with the second location information if the location change metric meets a criteria, wherein the second database comprises at least one entry of location information that does not comply with the regulatory scheme;
receiving a location information request;
