en position réelle

French to English Tech/Engineering Computers (general) vehicle navigation systems
Le système informatique permet la correction de la position théorique simulée, visualisée à I’écran EN POSITION RÉELLE, par simple validation à l’aide du clavier

… sa position théorique est affichée en permanence et peut être corrigée EN POSITION RÉELLE selon des repères routiers, villes, croisements, sorties, par simple validation par commande d’une toche clavier

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

neutral Jennifer Levey : The fact that this feature requires "simple validation à l’aide du clavier" implies that it is not real-time.

true position

I suggest 'true position', to avoid the ambiguity of 'actual' which can mean 'current' (referring to timing which is not the intended meaning) or 'true' (referring to faithful correspondence with the facts, which is the intended meaning).

agree rkillings : But I think most people would say 'actual' for where they actually are, as opposed to where the software computes them to be.

real-world position/coordinates

another take...
It's computer simulations talking measured vs simulated, so you've some options for 'réel' suggested here and by other answerers ;-)
Peer comment(s):

disagree rkillings : The incorrect simulated position also has real-world coordinates.
