Can beacon location be determined from an Android app? If yes, could someone please give some info on how to do that?
In the past, I created an app that scanned for beacons and determined the android device location (i.e. the device that ran the app) but I wonder if the opposite is possible. I've seen some on-line ads that claim just that.
Thanks.
Standard beacons just transmit a unique identifier. Nothing inherent to the beacon ties that identifier to a meaningful location like Latitude and Longitude, although it is possible to use external databases or lookup tables to make this correlation.
Any claims you have seen probably use this technique.
