  • Patent number: 9188451
    Abstract: An approach is provided for providing mechanisms to minimize power consumption in a navigation system while allowing for various levels of functionality and accuracy. A device may process telematics information and/or sensor information associated with at least one vehicle to determine an estimated location of the vehicle. Then the device may cause a comparison of the estimated location against available mapping data. Further, the device may determine whether to determine a sensed location of the vehicle via one or more location sensors based, at least in part, on the comparison.
