positionointijärjestelmän
Positionointijärjestelmän, often translated as positioning system, refers to any technological or methodological framework designed to determine the location of an object or entity. These systems are fundamental to a wide range of applications, from navigation and logistics to surveying and scientific research. The underlying principles can vary significantly, encompassing methods such as triangulation, trilateration, dead reckoning, and the use of external references.
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, are perhaps the most well-known
Other positioning systems may involve ground-based infrastructure, such as cellular towers for mobile phone location or
