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. -

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. -

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. -

Orbit Determination Toolbox (ODTBX)
Advanced mission simulation and analysis tool
The Orbit Determination Toolbox (ODTBX) is developed by the Navigation & Mission Design branch at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center as an advanced mission simulation and analysis tool used for concept exploration, proposal, early design phase, and/or rapid design center environments. ODTBX functions and utilities are combined in a flexible architecture that allows for modular development of navigation algorithms and simulations. The core ODTBX functionality is realized through a set of estimation commands that incorporate Monte Carlo data simulation, linear covariance analysis, and measurement processing at a generic level.
