In some embodi - I-1 ments, location data is periodically provided to a service computer from multiple mobile devices. Additionally, transaction data re- el lated to terminals may be provided to the service provider by one or more entities. The service provider may be configured to match 0 records in the received transaction data to records in the received location data to identify a set of potential terminal locations. In ,1 . some embodiments, the set of potential terminal locations may be filtered according to one or more criteria. A terminal location may subsequently be approximated from the set of potential terminal locations.
