Based on the echo location principle used by bats, the Bat Algorithm (BA) has been developed. By introducing foraging of bats and doppler effect in the Bat Algorithm leads to generate Novel Bat Algorithm (NBA). In this paper, the NBA is implemented to estimate the position of a GPS receiver located in the coastal area of Southern India. The estimated results are compared with the original survey coordinates of the GPS receiver. The result shows that the Novel Bat Algorithm is a better metaheuristic bio-evolutionary algorithm for GPS receiver position estimation. This algorithm can be useful to apply in RADAR, SONAR, and Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS) for Navigation, Tracking, and Positioning.
