Sedentary navigation
Sedentary navigation refers to a method of determining a device's position based on fixed signals or data received without active movement. Instead of relying on moving objects like ships or planes, it uses stationary references such as signals from satellites, radio towers, or known landmarks. This approach is common in applications like indoor positioning or when GPS signals are weak or unavailable, allowing devices to calculate their location by analyzing the surrounding signals and their known positions. Essentially, it's a way to figure out where something is by referencing data from fixed points in the environment.
