A system to map an outdoor environment includes at least one map including an access point (AP) position map, and a reflector map generated from multiple wireless signals collected by multiple automobile vehicles. A set of crowd-sourced data is collected from individual ones of the multiple automobile vehicles derived from multiple perception sensors when the at least one of the multiple automobile vehicles pass a mapping area. A data package is created from the set of crowd-sourced data including a group of wireless positioning samples and a group of visual features, the data package being forwarded to an On-Cloud database where On-Cloud Mapping is conducted. Multiple range measurements yield circular AP candidate positions within a free-space operating window of vehicle operation of the multiple automobile vehicles. Application of the range measurement plus multiple reflectors defined at multiple planar reflective surfaces improves the AP candidate positions.
