Claim:
A method applied to a mobile device comprising a GPS receiver having access to a network interface, the method comprising: updating a destination list with transmission destination network address information when transmitting via the network interface a first command to edit a user location information on the network interface based on a first geo-information from the GPS receiver; transmitting via the network interface a second command to edit the user location information on the network interface based on a second geo-information from the GPS receiver to each network address in the destination list only when respective locations indicated in the first and second geo-information differ by a predetermined distance; when determined that geo-information is being transmitted, storing in the destination list a current location based on the first geo-information from the GPS receiver, wherein the destination list is stored in a memory comprised by the mobile device; determining whether a transmission destination network address is already present in the destination list; adding the transmission destination network address to the destination list when not already present in the destination list; periodically computing a difference between current location of the GPS receiver and location information stored in each entry of the destination list; and when the difference between the current location of the GPS receiver and the location information stored in the entry of the destination list exceeds a predetermined distance, determining a website at the transmission destination network address indicated by the entry is storing invalid location information.
