How does your smartphone know your location?
GPS location apps on a smartphone can be very handy when mapping a travel route or finding nearby events. But how does your smartphone know where you are?

People think GPS comes from towers on the ground; they also think their phone calls go through satellites...

I agree with Daniel, that it is surprising that there are people who don't know how this works. But everyone needs to find out somewhere, so hopefully this video reaches those who don't.

Very nice, as the basic concept behind tracking up of locations has now been made very much clear after seeing this video.

Thanks for sharing as now I can brag about the fact that I know how the GPS navigation functionality works up together to show up the exact location. http://www.technodayz.com/2015/02/updated-how-to-root-asus-zenfone-5-in-5-easy-steps.html
