GNSS-based positioning

GNSS, or Global Navigation Satellite System, is a technology that uses signals from satellites orbiting the Earth to determine a location on the ground. Devices like GPS receivers capture these signals from multiple satellites, calculating the distance to each one. By analyzing the time it took for the signals to reach them, the device can pinpoint its exact position—latitude, longitude, and sometimes altitude. This system is widely used in navigation, mapping, and various applications requiring accurate location data, offering reliable positioning anywhere in the world, as long as there’s a clear view of the sky.
