Geopositioning
Also known as geotracking, geolocalization, geolocating, geolocation, or geoposition fixing
- Snippet from Wikipedia: Geopositioning
Geopositioning is the process of determining or estimating the geographic position of an object or a person.
Geopositioning yields a set of geographic coordinates (such as latitude and longitude) in a given map datum; positions may also be expressed as a bearing and range from a known landmark. In turn, positions can determine a meaningful location, such as a street address.
Specific instances include:
- animal geotracking, the process of inferring the location of animals over time;
- positioning system, the mechanisms for the determination of geographic positions in general;
- internet geolocation, geolocating a device connected to the internet;
- and mobile phone tracking.
