Fine location I don't know the precise or official definition, but I can give you an educated guess. GPS uses only the GPS receiver. Coarse uses only the GSM network and WiFi/IP guessing by google. Ie, Cell, GeoIP and Wifi location. The error can be kilometres, thus coarse location. Sometimes it is surprisingly precise. Also called "low battery mode" or something similar. It is the one I use. Fine location uses both methods. I guess that by having a coarse location first, and by knowing the timetable of the satellite passes, it decides what satellites to search for, instead of trying all of them. > > Also, why is there a button only for "Location", LOL.

What a question! > Even worse, some also list in the "location" field: > D. wifi scan > E. cell scan > http://i.cubeupload.com/3IqPj1.png Well, it is just an accurate description of what it does. Wifi and Cell is what together do "coarse location". Again, designer choice to list them all instead of the switch name. -- Cheers, Carlos.
