Claim:
1. A system for determining the location of a wireless device and communicating content to the wireless device, the system comprising: a merchant premises map; a plurality of beacons located on the merchant premises map, wherein each beacon transmits a beacon identifier; a beacon signal strength associated with each beacon, wherein the beacon signal strength is determined by the wireless device; a networked positioning module communicatively coupled to the wireless device, wherein the networked positioning module receives the beacon identifier and the beacon signal strength corresponding to the wireless device; at least one sensor located on the merchant premises map, wherein the sensor receives the beacon identifier and the sensor captures a measured sensor beacon signal strength, the sensor communicatively coupled to the networked positioning module; and the networked positioning module receives the beacon identifier and the measured sensor beacon signal strength from the sensor; the networked positioning module uses the beacon identifier and the measured sensor beacon signal strength to generate a plurality of calculated signal strength values for at least one beacon identifier; and the networked positioning module determines the location of the wireless device by comparing the beacon identifier and the beacon signal strength communicated by the wireless device with the calculated signal strength values generated by the networked positioning module for the beacon identifier.
