Problem
Map SDK location errors often come from coordinate-system mismatch, not GPS. WGS84, GCJ-02, BD-09, provider links, and app-side transforms can put the same landmark hundreds of meters apart.
Solution
WLOC helps SDK teams keep the link, normalized coordinate, conversion result, and target-app display together. That makes it easier to compare basemap position, API output, and in-app pin behavior.
Use WLOC in 3 steps
- 1Pick landmarks where offset is obvious.Use plazas, bridges, park gates, campus entrances, or other visually identifiable places.
- 2Compare coordinate-system output.Check WGS84, GCJ-02, BD-09, map link parsing, and target-app pin placement side by side.
- 3Add offset samples to regression tests.Save links, coordinates, screenshots, and diagnostics so future releases can catch conversion regressions.

Important boundary
WLOC does not jailbreak iOS, does not install system trust materials, does not include a VPN, and does not promise to defeat every app's own permissions, cache, or anti-abuse checks.
