Abstract

A first aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides a method of requesting location information. The method comprises the initial step of obtaining a datum that has been assigned to a computing device. Subsequent to the initial step the method involves the step of processing the datum to identify a location information system which assigned the datum to the computing device. Another step involved in the method is to provide the location information system with a location request, which is associated with the datum, for the location information .
