I would like to know what are the differences between Positioning and Localization Systems. In most review papers they are used interchangeably. Are they the same? For example: GPS(Global Positioning system): gives coordinates of receiver and SLAM(Simultaneous localization and mapping): constructing or updating a map of an unknown environment

Is difference :

Positioning: only gives information about receiver coordinates.No information about enviorement

Localization: gives information about receiver coordinates and also enviorement. positioning is a subtopic of localization
