Hybrid location using a weighted average of location readings and signal strengths of wireless access points

A system for determining a location of a device, comprising:

• a computer processor;
• a memory in communication with the computer processor when the system is activated, the memory comprising computer readable instructions that upon execution by the computer processor cause the system to scan one or more radio frequencies for visible transmitting devices, receive a signal strength and an identifier for each visible transmitting device among the visible transmitting devices, query a database containing location information for a plurality of visible transmitting devices with the identifier for each visible transmitting device to determine if the identifier for each visible transmitting device has been associated with a location point for each visible transmitting device, return the location point for each visible transmitting device found in the database, and perform a weighted average analysis of the location points returned for each visible transmitting device using one or more weights for the location points, the weighted average analysis providing the location of the device, wherein a weight among the one or more weights of the location points is based on the signal strength for each visible transmitting device.
