Divided transmission of gps coordinates

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing a program of instructions which, when executed, configure the processor to:
• encode information associated with a geographic location in a sideband channel of a first transmission medium, wherein:
• encoding the information includes encoding the information in a format readable by a mobile device including a GPS receiver;
• the information including first partial global positioning system (GPS) coordinates, the first partial GPS coordinates insufficient by themselves to completely identify the geographic location;
• transmit, via the sideband channel of the first transmission medium, the first partial GPS coordinates to the mobile device;
• and
• transmit at least second partial GPS coordinates to the mobile device via a second transmission medium, wherein the first partial GPS coordinates and the at least second partial GPS coordinates are sufficient, when combined, to fully identify the geographic location.

A non-transitory computer readable medium tangibly embodying a program of instructions to be stored in a memory and executed by a processor, the program of instructions including:

• at least one instruction to encode information associated with a geographic location in a sideband channel of a first transmission medium, wherein:
• encoding the information includes encoding the information in a format readable by a mobile device including a GPS receiver;
• the information including first partial global positioning system (GPS) coordinates, the first partial GPS coordinates insufficient by themselves to completely identify the geographic location;
• at least one instruction to transmit the first partial GPS coordinates to the mobile device, via the sideband channel of the first transmission medium;
• and
• at least one instruction to transmit at least second partial GPS coordinates to the mobile device via a second transmission medium, wherein the first partial GPS coordinates and the at least second partial GPS coordinates are sufficient, when combined, to fully identify the geographic location.
