Global Positioning System (GPS) is nowadays the most familiar and widely used positioning technique. With the emerging growth in the number and types of mobile devices, it is being installed as a standard service in modern mobile phones (smartphones). However, it has some limitations due to the availability of the signal in some specific circumstances and its stability. For that reason, cellular network techniques for precise location estimation with the use of mobile phones were developed. In this paper, we investigate GPS accuracy influenced by different conditions and compare it with cellular network positioning. It was possible thanks to a measurement campaign performed on the campus of Lodz University of Technology in Poland. This work demonstrates the comparison between different positioning methods together with their accuracies, providing an overview on the reliability of the results for different urban scenarios.
