Geolocation technology

Geolocation technology determines the physical location of a device—like a smartphone or computer—using various methods such as GPS signals, Wi-Fi networks, cell tower data, or IP addresses. This information helps apps and services provide relevant content, directions, or local search results. By analyzing these signals, geolocation can pinpoint where a device is in real-time or approximate it to a specific area. It’s widely used for navigation, targeted advertising, location-based services, and even safety features, enabling digital tools to interact with the physical world accurately.
