The initial absolute position of the device may be known and may be determined based on the output of a co-located GNSS receiver or a manual input. The determination of the position of the signal sources may involve analysing the signal to reveal signal characteristics and retrieving from the memory of the device a position of the source based upon the characteristics. Alternatively, the received signal may comprise, within the signal, an indication of the position of the signal source.
