Where a mobile computer device having a position sensor, such as a GPS sensor, and an accelerometer is configured to estimate a geographic position of the mobile computer device using the position sensor, the accuracy of such positions may be enhanced by correlating accelerations of the mobile computer device, as determined by the accelerometer, against the positions of known surface features within a vicinity of the estimated positions. If the observed accelerations are consistent with one of the known surface features, the location of the mobile computer device may be correlated with the location of the one of the known surface features.
