## What it is
A Swift library that combines ARKit's high-accuracy local tracking with CoreLocation's global GPS positioning, letting developers place AR content at real-world coordinates. It also offers experimental improved location accuracy by fusing AR movement data with recent location fixes.

## Use cases
- show points of interest as AR annotations at real-world GPS coordinates
- build AR navigation apps with directional overlays
- place virtual markers at geographic locations in an AR scene
- improve GPS accuracy using AR movement tracking
- create location-based AR games or tours on iOS

## When to choose
- you need to anchor AR content to real-world geographic coordinates on iOS
- you want AR-enhanced location accuracy beyond raw GPS
- you're building an AR navigation or POI app with Swift

## When to avoid
- you target Android or cross-platform frameworks
- you need only plain GPS without AR
- you require production-grade location fusion - that feature is experimental
