Zusammenfassung:A method of localization using bearing from environmental features includes receiving an estimated location of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver associated with a user and a corresponding bearing for the GNSS receiver. The method also includes identifying one or more environmental features about the estimated location of the GNSS receiver. The method further includes determining whether an orientation of a respective environmental feature of the one or more environmental features correlates to the corresponding bearing for the GNSS receiver. When the orientation of the respective environmental feature correlates to the corresponding bearing for the GNSS receiver, the method includes generating an updated bearing for the GNSS receiver or locational system that matches the orientation of the respective environmental feature.
