Maps know where you are using special signals from the sky. Imagine there are invisible helpers in space that send messages to your phone, telling it how far away they are. Your phone uses those clues to figure out exactly where you are on Earth. It’s like having a friend who can tell you where you are just by looking at you from far away.
Examples
- Your phone knows you're at the park because it sees signals from satellites above.
- You’re walking down a street, and your map shows exactly where you are, like magic!
- When you open Google Maps on your phone, it instantly knows where you are without asking.
