Which technology is primarily used by mobile devices to determine precise location by receiving signals from a network of orbiting satellites?
Cellular network triangulation
Short-range wireless data exchange
Bluetooth connectivity
Global Positioning System (GPS) services
The technology that uses a constellation of satellites to provide accurate location information to mobile devices is commonly referred to by its initials, which stand for Global Positioning System. This service uses the timing of signals from multiple satellites to calculate the receiver's position on Earth. The other options listed refer to different wireless technologies or services. Cellular triangulation uses the signal from phone towers to determine a less accurate position, while the remaining options, are used for short-range wireless communication and data transmission, not for pinpointing geographic location.
