Google Maps and other GPS-based applications use multiple factors to determine a user's exact location, including mobile OS permissions, SIM card data, Wi-Fi triangulation, and network signals. How does Google combine this data to optimize navigation accuracy? Can this method vary depending on the user’s country, carrier restrictions, or government policies?
