Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for ranking wireless access points using crowdsourced information, and using these rankings to determine a priority of tiles to download to a mobile device. The number of tiles that may be downloaded by a mobile device and/or the number of wireless access points in each tile may be optimized, based on wireless access point rankings and tile priority.
