1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a mobile terminal, a location of an access point connected to or connectable by the mobile terminal;
determining an accuracy of the location of the access point;
determining that the location of the access point is more accurate than an earlier stored location of the access point based on comparing the accuracy of the location of the access point to an accuracy of the earlier stored location of the access point; and
in response to determining that the location of the access point is more accurate than the earlier stored location of the access point, updating a location database of the mobile terminal with the location of the access point.

13. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory storing computer program code that, with the at least one processor, cause a mobile terminal to at least; determine a location of an access point connected to or connectable by the mobile terminal; determine an accuracy of the location of the access point; determine that the location of the access point is more accurate than an earlier stored location of the access point based on comparing the accuracy of the location of the access point to an accuracy of the earlier stored location of the access point; and in response to determining that the location of the access point is more accurate than the earlier stored location of the access point, update a location database of the mobile terminal with the location of the access point. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
