196 Finding and Sharing Places
Note
Footprints uses a database of cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots to estimate your position
for the automatically assigned district or area name for your footprint, and for the
initial map location if you choose to find a position on Google Maps. The database is
continually being improved. If your nearest cell tower or Wi-Fi hotspot is new to the
database, your estimated position may be inaccurate. If the automatically assigned
district or area name is incorrect, you can rename the footprint (see "Edit a Footprint"
in this chapter). If you choose to find a position on Google maps and the initial
location is not near the position you want, simply scroll and zoom as necessary to find
the position.
