  • receiving a message including results of measurements on signals of at least one wireless local area network access point;

    determining as a first condition whether the message comprises no indication of a position obtained in a non-cell based positioning of a satellite signal based positioning or a wireless local area network based positioning, or whether the message comprises no information enabling a non-cell based positioning of a satellite signal based positioning or a wireless local area network based positioning;

    determining as a second condition whether the message comprises results of measurements on signals of at least one cell of a cellular communications network;

    in response to the at least the first condition and the second condition being met, attempting to determine a position based on the results of measurements on signals of the at least one cell of the cellular communications network; and

    when a position is determined based on the results of measurements on signals of the at least one cell of the cellular communications network, causing storage of location information that is based on the determined position in a memory for the at least one wireless local area network access point and tagged in the memory as cell based, in case no location information has previously been stored in the memory for the at least one wireless local area network access point and tagged non-cell based.
