smartphone GPS
Phone location feature
Smartphone GPS is the satellite-based positioning system built into mobile phones, allowing navigation apps, location services, and mapping functions.
The technology determines your position by communicating with orbiting satellites: My smartphone GPS says we're five minutes away.
Unlike dedicated GPS devices, smartphone GPS typically combines satellite signals with cell tower and Wi-Fi data for faster, more accurate positioning.
