Seeker
Accurately Locate Smartphones using Social Engineering
Seeker is an open source project that demonstrates how to obtain precise location information from devices using social engineering and web-based techniques. The tool sets up a phishing page that asks for location permissions, allowing GPS and other device data to be shared if the user consents. It can capture latitude, longitude, accuracy, altitude, direction, and even speed, with results displayed in a terminal. The project supports both manual deployment and tunneling services like Ngrok for external access. While primarily intended as an educational resource on security awareness, it highlights the risks of exposing geolocation data online. Its simplicity and effectiveness have made it a popular project in cybersecurity learning circles. -

libpostal
A C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world
A C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world. Powered by statistical NLP and open geo data. libpostal is a C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world using statistical NLP and open data. The goal of this project is to understand location-based strings in every language, everywhere. Addresses and the locations they represent are essential for any application dealing with maps (place search, transportation, on-demand/delivery services, check-ins, reviews). Yet even the simplest addresses are packed with local conventions, abbreviations and context, making them difficult to index/query effectively with traditional full-text search engines. This library helps convert the free-form addresses that humans use into clean normalized forms suitable for machine comparison and full-text indexing. Though libpostal is not itself a full geocoder, it can be used as a preprocessing step to make any geocoding application smarter, and simpler. -

ARKit + CoreLocation
Combines the high accuracy of AR with the scale of GPS data
ARKit uses camera and motion data to map out the local world as you move around. CoreLocation uses wifi and GPS data to determine your global location, with a low degree of accuracy. ARKit + CoreLocation combines the high accuracy of AR with the scale of GPS data. The potential for combining these technologies is huge, with so many potential applications across many different areas. Allow items to be placed within the AR world using real-world coordinates. Dramatically improved location accuracy, using recent location data points combined with knowledge about movement through the AR world. The improved location accuracy is currently in an “experimental” phase, but could be the most important component. The library and demo come with a bunch of additional features for configuration. It’s all fully documented to be sure to have a look around. -

PuntoGPS
Minimalistic wide-open GPS-locator/tracker
PuntoGPS is a simple tracking application to show your position to others, e.g. during urban bike rides :) It's made up of a GPS tracking app and a web based map. The app can be run on any GPS equipped device (smartphone, tablet, etc) by the users that want to show their position and/or track their paths. No user account is required, but users can set a short status message to identify (the default is the device name). The web map shows the current position of the active users, allowing others to find them. It runs on any browser and supports a great variety of tile layers (Open Street Map and Google Satellite among others). As a php+mysql service can be installed on any web server (i.e. your bike-team site!). It's free, open source, portable and cross-platform. *** NB *** - Check the "allow unknown sources" option on your device security settings to setup on Android. Current version: 0.9 (beta) Release notes: -> https://sourceforge.net/p/puntogps/blog/ -

GPS and GSM Tracking (GG-Tracker)
Track your mobile device or cellphone via internet using OpenGTS/GPRMC
GG-Tracker tracks the location of your mobile device. It displays your position on the internet using Google Maps / Earth and uses live updates via ajax technology. GG-Tracker can run standalone or integrated on an existing webpage. The application is built using the template framework Bootstrap which makes it fully responsive (fits on any screen). Also the supporting files for Google Maps, Streetview and Earth are 100% responsive. GG-Tracker can potentially hook up to many different apps (iOS and Android) as long as they follow the OpenGTS or Garmin $GPRMC standards. The application itself runs on a standard Apache and MySQL setup. -

EvilTransform
Transport coordinate between earth(WGS-84) and mars in china(GCJ-02)
eviltransform is a compact library for converting geographic coordinates between the global WGS-84 system (used by GPS) and the Chinese GCJ-02 system (used by many Chinese map services such as Google Maps China and AutoNavi). The project implements forward and inverse transformations (WGS→GCJ and GCJ→WGS) as well as a higher-precision inverse method (GCJ→WGS exact) that trades speed for sub-meter accuracy, and it includes a utility for computing geodesic distance in meters. It’s implemented (or ported) across many languages and platforms — you’ll find reference implementations in Go, C/C++/Obj-C, Java, JavaScript, Python, PHP, C#, Haskell, Rust, Swift, MATLAB and more — which makes it easy to drop into server, client, or mobile codebases. The README documents the API signatures and describes expected numeric accuracy (e.g., ~1–2 m for the standard inverse, <0.5 m for the exact inverse) and when to use each routine.
