An accelerated method for achieving faster convergence of the Weiszfeld procedure used in the solution of the planar Weber problem is proposed. The acceleration is based on two consecutive iterations and assumes that the differences between successive points form a geometric series. The next iterate is the limit of this geometric series. Computational experiments are reported.
