1. An initial or preliminary positioning method that provides approximate location or alignment with lower precision, typically used before fine positioning
The satellite uses coarse positioning to establish initial contact before switching to fine positioning.
O satélite usa posicionamento grosseiro para estabelecer contato inicial antes de mudar para posicionamento fino.
2. In GPS and navigation systems, a rapid positioning technique that achieves accuracy within several meters or tens of meters
Coarse positioning allowed the drone to reach the general area within minutes.
