Location tracking is the process of determining the geographical position of a person or object using various technologies. This can be achieved through devices like smartphones, GPS systems, and wearable technology. The data collected can help in navigation, monitoring, and enhancing safety.
Many applications utilize location tracking, such as Google Maps for navigation and Find My iPhone for locating lost devices. Businesses also use location data to analyze customer behavior and improve services. While location tracking offers benefits, it raises privacy concerns, as individuals may not always be aware of when and how their location is being monitored.
