Abstract
Techniques for efficiently performing data transactions are disclosed herein. In an example, crowd-sourced data is used to generate a network map that includes network properties mapped to one or more geographical locations. The network map is used to determine if a network that has one or more target properties is within a threshold range of a computing device. The target properties are based on one or more parameters of an upcoming data transaction. If a respective network with one or more target properties is within range of the computing device, the upcoming data transaction can be scheduled for initiation when the computing device is connected to the respective network. If no networks have the one or more target properties, the upcoming transaction can be initiated using a current network connection.
