Summary:A system and method for providing a location snapshot service and associating a snapshot with location container data. The system includes a snapshot service for detecting the position of the computing device. The position of the computing device is associated with a street address. The street address is an identifier for a location container. The location container may be associated with internal data that is associated with the street address. The location container may also be associated with external network data that is associated with the street address. In this manner, a computing device may optimize the use of position data to increase computing functionality and applications on a computing device.
