Geopositioning is the process of determining or estimating the geographic position of an object or a person.Geopositioning yields a set of geographic coordinates (such as latitude and longitude) in a given map datum. Geographic positions may also be expressed indirectly, as a distance in linear referencing or as a bearing and range from a known landmark.The resulting geoposition is sometimes referred to as geolocation, and the process of geopositioning may also be described as geo-localization.In turn, positions can be used to determine a more easily understandable location, such as a street address (see reverse geocoding).

Geolocalization in the context of Radio navigation
Radio navigation or radionavigation is the application of radio waves to determine a position of an object on the Earth, either the vessel or an obstruction. Like radiolocation, it is a type of radiodetermination.
The basic principles are measurements from/to electric beacons, especially

Radiolocation, also known as radiolocating or radiopositioning, is the process of finding the location of something through the use of radio waves. It generally refers to passive, particularly radar—as well as detecting buried cables, water mains, and other public utilities. It is similar to radionavigation in which one actively seeks its own position; both are types of radiodetermination. Radiolocation is also used in real-time locating systems (RTLS) for tracking valuable assets.
