Today’s businesses are catered to where customers are located.
With real-time geolocation, you can customize apps and services in ways that are more relevant, more
localized, more interactive.
Testing is even more important for such location-based scenarios!🚀
Let’s talk about geolocation technology and testing it in this edition.
So how does geolocation work?
User allows access to current location details ->The Server determines the user's location with their IP (GeoIP) OR Latitude, Longitude combo(GPS/Wifi positioning) -> Your website generates localised content in real time!
