Abstract: We report for the first time a general geometrical expression for the angular resolution of an arbitrary network of interferometric gravitational wave (GW) detectors when the arrival-time of a GW is unknown. We discuss the implications of our results on how to improve angular resolutions of the network. An example of an improved localization method for GWs of unknown waveforms is demonstrated.
