1. A portable device configured to operate in a communication network, the portable device comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to determine characteristics of motion and orientation of the portable device;
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the portable device to;
determine, at a plurality of instances within a time period of a certain length, a current mode of transport of the portable device to generate a plurality of detection results, wherein at least two of the plurality of detection results indicate different modes of transport;
determine a single predominant mode of transport based on the plurality of detection results, wherein a weight is assigned to each mode of transport in the plurality of detection results and the single predominant mode of transport is determined according to the respective weight for each mode of transport;
transmit a request for geo spatial data according to the predominant mode of transport, the geospatial data including points of interest (POIs) selected based on accessibility to the POIs based on the predominant mode of transport; and
display search suggestions including the geospatial data.

Abstract
Relevant geospatial data is provided to a portable device. In particular, several activity detection results collected over a period of time, spanning several time intervals, are received, where each activity detection result provides an estimate of the portable device activity, and where the activity detection results indicate at least two different activities. A single predominant activity of the portable device is determined using the activity detection results. Based on the predominant activity, geospatial data is selected and then provided to the portable device.
