Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects presented herein may enable a navigation application of a UE to feed its calculated navigation route information to a PE of the UE to aid the PE computing positioning estimations to improve positioning accuracy. In one aspect, a UE estimates a current location of the UE based on a set of positioning measurements and time update predictions using a positioning engine. The UE calculates real-time navigation route information using at least one navigation application based on the current location of the UE, a destination of the UE, and map information. The UE changes or verifies a set of positioning estimations performed by the positioning engine based on the real-time navigation route information from the at least one navigation application.
