Apps ➔ Sandboxed Google Play.</p>

<p>By default, apps using Google Play geolocation are redirected to our own
|

implementation on top of the standard OS geolocation service. If you want to
|
||||
use Google's geolocation service instead, you can disable the "Reroute
|
||||
location requests to OS APIs" toggle and manually grant "Allow all the time"
|
||||
Location access to Google Play services. For it to be fully functional, you
|
||||
also need to use "Google Location Accuracy" link to access the Google Play
|
||||
services menu for opting into their network location service. This will send
|
||||
the nearby Wi-Fi and cellular networks provided via the Location permission to
|
||||
their service to retrieve a location estimate. The Nearby Devices permission
|
||||
can also be granted to give it access to nearby Bluetooth device IDs. If you
|
||||
stick with the default enabled redirection mode, none of this needs to be
|
||||
granted for working geolocation in apps. In order to fully take advantage of
|
||||
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning, you also need to enable the scanning toggles in

Settings ➔ Location ➔ Location services which are disabled by default rather

implementation on top of the standard OS geolocation service. You don't need

to grant any permissions to Google Play or change any settings for working

location in apps using Google Play geolocation due to our rerouting feature.

If you want to use Google's network location service to provide location
|

estimates without satellite reception, you can disable the "Reroute location

location. You will need to grant "Allow all the time" Location access to

Google Play services along with the Nearby Devices permission for it to have

all the access it needs. You need to use the "Google Location Accuracy" link

from the sandboxed Google Play configuration menu to access the Google Play

services menu for opting into their network location service, otherwise this

is all pointless. It will send the nearby Wi-Fi and cellular networks provided

with the required permissions can scan when Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are otherwise

<p>Re-routing location to the OS geolocation service will use more power than

using the Google Play geolocation service since we do not provide a
