An approach is provided for providing a service that determines a vehicle's location without user interaction when the vehicle is incapable of updating its current location. A location platform determines a first set of dead reckoning data associated with a vehicle from a first point to a second point within an area in which one or more non-dead reckoning location technologies are unavailable or not used. The location platform determines a second set of dead reckoning data associated with at least one device of at least one user of the vehicle from the second point to a third point, wherein the one or more non-dead reckoning location technologies is available or used at the third point. The location platform then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the first set of dead reckoning data and the second set of dead reckoning data to determine a location of the second point.
