Geolocation Technology
Geolocation technology refers to the methods and tools used to determine the physical location of a device or person. This technology often relies on signals from satellites, mobile networks, or Wi-Fi connections to pinpoint coordinates on a map. Common applications include navigation systems like GPS, location-based services, and tracking devices.
The data collected through geolocation can be used for various purposes, such as improving customer experiences, enhancing safety, and optimizing logistics. However, it also raises privacy concerns, as users may not always be aware of how their location data is being used or shared by companies and applications.
