Wireless, Wi-Fi triangulation refers to the technique of triangulation of radio signals to "pinpoint" the location of a wireless user. Triangulation is the process of pinpointing a transmitter by tacking a bearing of the transmitter from two or more fixed points. When the bearings are drawn on a map, the point of intersection is the exact position of the transmitter.

@ceejayoz It uses that Wi-Fi location detection thing. Triangulation? Skyhook? I forget exactly what it's called.

@ricfink No GPS _chip_ but Location Services still works, via WiFi and cell tower triangulation. So it can still find itself. #ipad #ipwa

Anyone on O2 with an iPhone? Wanna help me work out how to get location triangulation working via network masts?

@jhurdlow I'm pretty sure you can't call it GPS if you don't actually see the GPS array of satellites. They'd call it location triangulation
