Abstract
In some examples, a system receives, over a network, position data acquired by a position sensor of a device, and sensor data acquired by a further sensor of the device while the position sensor of the device is inactive, the sensor data from the further sensor indicating a direction of travel of the device. The system determines, using the sensor data acquired by the further sensor of the device, a heading and movement of the device relative to a position indicated by the position data, and updates a position of the device according to the determined heading and movement.
