A user needs to get precise driving directions in a remote area with a clear view of the sky. Which mobile device technology is designed to receive signals from a constellation of orbiting satellites for accurate global location tracking?
Global Positioning System (GPS) is the technology that uses a network of orbiting satellites to provide precise location and time information to a receiver on Earth. It is the primary system used for accurate global navigation. Cellular network triangulation can estimate location using signals from nearby cell towers but is generally less precise than GPS. Near Field Communication (NFC) and Bluetooth are short-range communication technologies used for tasks like contactless payments or connecting peripherals, not for satellite-based navigation.
