Geo-location

Geo-location refers to the process of determining the physical position of a device, such as a smartphone or computer, on the Earth's surface. This can be achieved using various methods like GPS satellites, Wi-Fi signals, cell tower data, or IP addresses. Knowing a device’s location enables services like navigation, local search results, targeted advertising, and emergency assistance. Accurate geo-location helps users find nearby places, navigate unfamiliar areas, or receive relevant content based on their position. It's a fundamental technology used in many apps and services to connect digital experiences with the real world.
