Claim One:
1. A method comprising: arranging, by a computing device, a plurality of location entities into a hierarchy of location descriptors, wherein individual ones of the location entities comprise global positioning system (GPS) coordinates captured by a GPS device; storing the plurality of location entities on a location search server, the location search server being remotely located from the computing device; determining, by the computing device, whether one location entity of the plurality of location entities is a spatial outlier based on determining whether a number of other location entities within a predetermined distance of the one location entity exceeds a threshold number, the other location entities and the one location entity sharing a location descriptor; in response to determining that the one location entity is the spatial outlier, deleting, by the computing device, the one location entity; and sending an update to the location search server such that the plurality of location entities on the location search server reflects the deletion of the spatial outlier.
