Abstract
Technologies for determining the location of a telematics device during communication mode switching of the telematics device include switching a communication processor of the telematics device between a location mode and a data mode. In the location mode, the communication processor is configured to receive location data from a location beacon system and determine a present location of the telematics device. In the data mode, the communication processor is configured to transmit and receive data communications from a remote computer system(s). While in the data mode, the telematics device may estimate its location based on a last determined present location and inertial sensor data received from inertial sensors of the telematics device using dead reckoning.
