There is provided a method for an apparatus for a location service, the method comprising: receiving, from a network function, a location request to determine a location of a terminal, the location request comprising a first indication of a first area: determining whether the terminal is inside or outside of the first area; and sending, to the network function, a second indication of whether the terminal is inside or outside of the first area.

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems read location data representing a current location of a mobile device. The location data for the mobile device is taken at a first sampling rate. Upon determining that the location data indicates that the mobile device is approaching a geographic area having a history of wireless communication loss, the mobile device is triggered to increase location data sampling from the first sampling rate to a second sampling rate.

A system and method for improving accuracy of a mobile delivery device traversing a route. The system includes a mobile delivery device, a geolocation circuit and an inertial navigation system in communication with the mobile device, and a processor configured to compare accuracy indicators to thresholds to determine when to switch sensing the position of the mobile delivery device between the geolocation circuit and the inertial navigation system.

Examples of device separation monitors are described herein. In some examples, a first electronic device may include a memory. In some examples, the first electronic device may include a processor in electronic communication with the memory. In some examples, the processor may monitor for separation from a second electronic device based on a geographic location detection zone. In some examples, the processor may detect a zone type switch event. In some examples, the processor may monitor for separation from the second electronic device based on a wireless detection zone in response to detecting the zone type switch event.
