1. An article of manufacture, comprising:
- means for accepting a predetermined elapsed time that causes a mobile device to indicate a location;
means for determining a specified time period of non-movement in the mobile device, including at least;
means for initializing a timer of the mobile device at least partially based on at least one indication of the mobile device at rest, the timer configured for measuring an elapsed time of non-movement of the mobile device; and
means for signaling the specified time period of non-movement in the mobile device if a measured elapsed time of the timer exceeds the accepted predetermined elapsed time while the mobile device remains at rest; and
means for presenting an indication of location of the mobile device at least partially based on the specified time period of non-movement.
