In a method for providing location-based information over a network, a plurality of GPS reference data sets, corresponding to a plurality of respective local areas, are acquired at intervals such that each GPS reference data set is updated on a continuous basis. A plurality of aiding data sets are generated at intervals based on the respective GPS data sets, whereby each aiding data set is updated on a continuous basis. The generated aiding data sets are stored at intervals on a data-storing network server, whereby updated aiding data sets are available on a continuous basis for access by a requesting entity via communication with the data-storing network server.
