While using a mapping program, which of the following functions shows the user's location on the map as well as movements on the map as they travel?

The accelerometer measures changes in velocity and gravitational force; it can estimate relative movement but cannot provide absolute geographic coordinates for map positioning.

Geotracking is a higher-level software capability that records location history using GPS data, but it is not the underlying hardware sensor that supplies the location to the map.

The gyroscope measures rotational orientation and is used for screen rotation and stabilization, not for determining geographic location on a map.

GPS (Global Positioning System) receives signals from multiple satellites to triangulate the device's exact latitude and longitude. A mapping application uses this continuously updated coordinate data to pin the user's location on the map and animate that position as the user travels. No other onboard sensor provides the absolute geographic positioning required for real-time map tracking.
