Method and apparatus for determining a geo-location correction-offset

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
• the at least one non-transitory memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• process and/or facilitate a processing of communication information associated with at least one user device;
• determine a current geo-location of the at least one user device based on the communication information;
• determine an accuracy error of the current geo-location based on a comparison of the current geo-location with contextual location information associated with the current geo-location;
• determine a correction-offset to the current geo-location based on an indication that the accuracy error in the determined current geo-location of the user device is greater than a predetermined accuracy threshold;
• transmit the correction-offset to the at least one user device based on the current geo-location;
• and
• determine a probability factor for the correction-offset based on communication information associated with a plurality of other user devices,
• wherein the contextual location information includes one or more validated information items associated with one or more points of interest associated with the current geo-location, a corrected current geo-location, or a combination thereof,
• wherein the communication information associated with the plurality of other users comprises communication information from a database including location information from the plurality of user devices indicating a high error rate in location information at a certain geo-location,
• wherein the predetermined accuracy threshold is provided in a user profile at the user device, and
• wherein the correction-offset is at least a parameter or a correction-offset function for determining a corrected geo-location.
