Your phone shows your location on the map using a satellite positioning system, Wi-Fi, or network (Cell ID) based positioning.
The availability, accuracy, and completeness of the location information depend on your location, surroundings, third-party sources, and other factors, and may be limited. Location information may not be available inside buildings or underground, for example.

Wi-Fi positioning improves positioning accuracy when satellite signals are not available, especially when you are indoors or between tall buildings. If you're in a place where the use of Wi-Fi is restricted, you can switch Wi-Fi off in your phone settings.
