positioning algorithms

Positioning algorithms determine a device's location by analyzing signals from nearby sources like GPS satellites, Wi-Fi hotspots, or cell towers. These algorithms process data such as signal strength, timing, and angles to estimate where the device is on a map. They often combine multiple data sources for accuracy and use mathematical models to correct errors. In essence, they translate raw signal information into accurate location information, enabling services like navigation, tracking, and location-based searches.
