1. A method comprising:
- determining an amount of power available to a mobile device, wherein the mobile device is configured to implement operations to determine a location of the mobile device based, in part, on the amount of power available to the mobile device, the operations to determine the location including receiving a first location of the mobile device based, in part, on a first amount of power available to the mobile device, and computing a second location of the mobile device based, in part, on a second amount of power available to the mobile device;
comparing the determined amount of power with the first amount of power and the second amount of power; and
selecting the first location received by the mobile device or the second location computed by the mobile device as the location of the mobile device based on a result of the comparing,where the method is performed by one or more computer processors of the mobile device.
