Claim Text:
1. A method, on an electronic device, the method comprising: collecting a first set of unique wireless access point IDs; collecting a second set of unique wireless access point IDs; comparing the first set and the second set to determine intersecting wireless access point IDs of both the first set and the second set and non-intersecting wireless access point IDs of the second set; if a number of the intersecting wireless access point IDs meets an intersection threshold for the first set, adding the non-intersecting wireless access point IDs of the second set to the first set, wherein the intersection threshold for the first set is a preselected percentage of a number of unique wireless access point IDs of the first set; updating a confidence level for the unique wireless access point IDs of the first set that correspond to the intersecting wireless access point IDs; and determining geographic information for the unique wireless access point IDs of the first set that meet a confidence threshold.
