1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
monitor a position of the UE based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) communication, wherein the position of the UE is monitored using at least one first map layer of a plurality of map layers associated with a map;
detect that the position of the UE corresponds to a predefined location when the GNSS communication is below a communication threshold; and
switch to monitoring the position of the UE using at least one second map layer of the plurality of map layers upon detecting that the position of the UE corresponds to the predefined location, wherein the at least one second map layer is associated with the predefined location.
