Wi-Fi Could Augment GPS
نویسنده
چکیده
Labs at Microsoft, test projects at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland, and companies such as Quarterscope Solutions (www.quarterscope.com) are moving forward with projects that will bring real-time mapping and location data to portable-equipment users. Once they've gained market acceptance, these mobile products will be able to pick up signals from a few base stations and then triangulate to determine someone's location.
