Geolocation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geolocation is the real-world geographic location of an Internet connected computer, mobile device, or website visitor based on the Internet Protocol address, MAC address, hardware embedded article/production number, embedded software number (such as Exif/IPTC/XMP or modern steganography), invoice, or other, perhaps self-disclosed, information.
The term is also used as a verb to mean the process of inferring the location of the animal based, for instance, on the time history of sunlight brightness or the water temperature and depth measured by an instrument attached to the animal. Such instruments are commonly called Archival Tags or dataloggers.
