Abstract

In recent years, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) have become integral to our daily lives because of their precise positioning and navigation capabilities. Widespread use of smartphones equipped with GNSS receivers results in the generation of a huge amount of positioning data. Therefore, real-time cloud computing has emerged as a promising approach to effectively leverage this wealth of location information. In this study, we developed an Android application that captures raw GNSS data from smartphones, leverages cloud computing resources, calculates the position of the device, and returns the computed solution to the user. Integration of cloud-based processing not only conserves the device resources but also enables real-time position calculation, paving the way for enhanced location-based applications and services.
