First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- predicting a location associated with a device;
generating a hierarchy of location information with respect to a plurality of accuracy levels, including generating at least one hierarchically lower accuracy position at a time of generating a hierarchically higher accuracy position with respect to the predicted location;
storing the hierarchy of location information at the device; and
displaying current location information of the device based, at least in part, on a highest accuracy position of the stored hierarchy of location information.

Abstract
An approach is provided for predicting and pre-fetching location information. A pre-fetching manager determines a predicted location associated with a device. Next, the pre-fetching manager retrieves location information based, at least in part, on the predicted location. Then, the pre-fetching manager determines to cache the location information at the device.
