The method also includes identifying a set of features that are within a selected distance from the identified location, filtering the set of identified features to obtain only curated features that are within the selected distance from the identified location, determining a distance between each curated feature and the identified location, and inferring an access point for the identified location based on the distances determined between each curated feature and the identified location.
