11.4.1 My Location
Use wireless networks
Mark the check box to use information from Wi-Fi and mobile networks
to determine your approximate location, for use in Google Maps, when
you search, and so on. When you select this option, you're asked whether
you consent to sharing your location anonymously with Google's location
service.
Use GPS satellites
Check to use your cellphone's global positioning system (GPS) satellite
receiver to pinpoint your location within an accuracy as close as several
meters ("street level"). The process of accessing the GPS satellite and
setting your cellphone's precise location for the first time will require up
to 5 minutes. You will need to stand in a place with a clear view of the sky
and avoid moving. After this, GPS will only need 20-40 seconds to identify
your precise location.
