Abstract When users are at known undergroudn locations, such as tube stations
they often do not have a GPS signal, as the radio waves from the
satellites required cannot penetrate the earth, this RFC suggests
providing GPS locations over WiFI using remote IP detection for a
server to respond with the correct name of clients location and the
clients GPS location.

Extending this to those without WifI access the standard goes one
stage further, by offering a hidden wifi network with a standard name,
such as .location. The principle being that mobile devices can look
for this network in cases where GPS data cannot be collected. It is
hoped that this will allow those using mapping services to know where
they are when travelling on underground trains etc.
