Trilateration of location with celestial bodies using an android application

The aim of this project is to pinpoint one’s coordinates with the use of celestial bodies through a mobile application. As accurate and consistent as the GPS is, there are some cases where GPS signals may be weak or inconsistent. Thus, relying on other forms of determining one’s location such as cel...
