Why wouldnt this using something like radio waves in each station from a few sources, wouldnt it be super easy to tell your position fairly accurately with just a few radio sources? I did some googling and indoor localization systems can determine your location down to 3cm, I think that would be way more accurate than the 50m or so I have observed of GPS units while they moves around.
And obviously they would be 10000x louder than the gps signal, so you couldnt lose it unless someone was purposefully interfering with the signal.

- hobs 12y agoThis seems like the actual solved answer to the problem, thanks!
- nemetroid 12y agoI agree. The entire thing sounds a bit like running a web-based Javascript solution on an embedded system because that's the only technology you're familiar with.
