{{UBIK}} clients use a [[Location_Manager|Location Manager]] in order to gain knowledge about their position, so it can help the user navigate to his/her target.
The user can [[HowTo:Switch_Positioning_Mode_(UBIK_Android)|choose one of different positioning modes]] optimized for different environments.
Most of them incorporate multiple technologies for calculating positions or checking their reliability.
* ''LLA only mode'' - used for positioning using markers only
* ''Beacon Proximity mode'' - uses iBeacon proximity and LLA only
=== Technologies ===
==== LLA markers ====
LLA markers basically are QR codes with location data encoded into them - which can be used for positioning when they are scanned.
==== Object Proximity Positioning ====
The location of nearby Geo-Objects can be used for positioning.
The position of a Geo-Object can be used manually by pushing the button {{key press|Use Location}} in the [[UBIK Client Basics#Context Menu|Context Menu]].
The geo information of an object gets used automatically if exactly one single object is found through scanning. If more objects are found, their geo information doesn´t get used. Scanning includes [[UBIK Client Basics#ID Marker|ID Marker]], [[UBIK Client Basics#Bar Code|Bar Code]], [[UBIK Client Basics#QR Code|QR Code]], [[UBIK Client Basics#OCR|OCR]], [[UBIK Client Basics#RFID|RFID]], [[UBIK Client Basics#Markerless|Markerless]] and [[UBIK Client Basics#ID Marker 3D|ID Marker 3D]]. The automatic use of Geo-Object´s location can be turned off by disabling the "EnableObjectProximityPositioning" setting.
==== Beacon-Proximity Positioning ====
In order to use Beacon Proximity as a Positioning System, Bluetooth Low Energy has to be available and enabled on the mobile device. If a new environment should be equipped with iBeacon-Positioning, an expert has to mount iBeacons on known positions and calibrate the propagation factor of these beacons. Proximity beacons can be configured using [[SYSCLS_PROXIMITY_BEACON]]. {{Version/WinXSince|UWP}}
