Geolocation

Geolocation is the process of identifying the physical location of a device, such as a smartphone or computer, using various technologies. This can be done through GPS (Global Positioning System), which uses satellites, or through Wi-Fi and cell tower signals that help pinpoint where you are. Geolocation allows apps and services to provide localized information, such as maps, restaurants, or weather updates, based on your current position. It plays a significant role in navigation, social networking, and location-based services, enhancing everyday experiences by connecting digital information with real-world locations.
