Abstract: A method being for facilitating positioning determination of a UE includes: obtaining motion information indicative of motion of the UE; obtaining positioning information based on positioning signals received by the UE; determining a validity status of map data based on whether the positioning information, the motion of the UE, and the map data, that include locations of physical environmental features, are consistent, wherein the validity status is determined to be valid in response to the positioning information, the motion of the UE, and the map data being consistent; and determining at least one of a position estimate for the UE, or a direction of motion of the UE, based on the map data and based on the validity status being valid.
