Real-time location tracking is typically assisted by technologies such as GPS (Global Positioning System) and cellular networks. GPS utilizes satellites to pinpoint a device's exact location on Earth, while cellular networks can triangulate positions based on cell tower connectivity. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technologies are also used for tracking within smaller areas, providing location data through proximity to known devices or access points. These technologies combine to help applications provide live updates of where users or assets are situated, enhancing navigation and location-based services.
