If the Earth’s surface were a football pitch, the level of satellite-based localization precision would correspond to but a few hundredths of a millimeter: less than the thickness of a single hair! How is such a level of acute precision even possible? We look back on the history of GPS and the Italian software Tolomeo and discover how mathematics and physics allowed us to achieve such a level of “focus”.
