Positioning accuracy

Positioning accuracy refers to how precisely a location can be determined within a geographic area. It is crucial in various applications, such as GPS navigation, where the goal is to pinpoint the exact spot on Earth where you are located. High positioning accuracy means the calculated location is very close to the true location, while low accuracy can lead to errors and imprecise readings. Factors influencing positioning accuracy include satellite signals, environmental conditions, and the technology used. In essence, it measures how confidently we can say where something is in relation to the Earth's surface.
