iBeacon is a protocol developed by Apple and introduced at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in 2013.

Turn-by-turn navigation is a feature of some GPS navigation devices where directions for a selected route are continually presented to the user in the form of spoken and visual instructions.

The system keeps the user up-to-date about the best route to the destination, and is often updated according to changing factors such as traffic and road conditions.

Turn-by-turn systems typically use an electronic voice to inform the user whether to turn left or right, the street name, and how much distance to the turn.

Location awareness refers to devices that can passively or actively determine their location.

Navigational instruments provide location coordinates for vessels and vehicles.

Surveying equipment identifies location with respect to a well-known locationa wireless communications device.

Network location awareness (NLA) describes the location of a node in a network.

A mobile application software or mobile app is an application software designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.

Most such devices are sold with several apps bundled as pre-installed software, such as a web browser, email client, calendar, mapping program, and an app for buying music or other media or more apps.

Some pre-installed apps can be removed by an ordinary uninstall process, thus leaving more storage space for desired ones.

Where the software does not allow this, some devices can be rooted to eliminate the undesired apps.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radionavigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Air Force.

It is a global navigation satellite system that provides geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.

The GPS system operates independently of any telephonic or internet reception, though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the GPS positioning information.

The GPS system provides critical positioning capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world.

The United States government created the system, maintains it, and makes it freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.

However, the US government can selectively deny access to the system, as happened to the Indian military in 1999 during the Kargil War.
