LOCATION SOURCES

• GPS & Verizon location services: Checkmark to enable your phone’s standalone global positioning system (GPS) satellite receiver to pinpoint your location to within an accuracy as close as several meters (“street level”). Actual GPS accuracy depends on a clear view of the sky and other factors.

• Wi-Fi & mobile network location: Checkmark to use information from Wi-Fi and mobile networks to determine your approximate location that is used while searching in Google Maps and other applications. When you checkmark this option, you’re asked whether you consent to sharing your location anonymously with Google’s location service.
