Settings ➔ Location ➔ Location services which are disabled by default rather
than enabled by default like the stock OS.</p>
<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
network-based location service and implement it via GNSS / A-GPS only. In the
future, we plan on providing a pseudo-network geolocation service for the OS
by using a local database of cell towers, and the location redirection feature
can also make use of this future OS implementation for network location
requests once it's available.</p>
<p>The Google Location Accuracy and Google settings activities would normally
be integrated into the OS but we don't include any of the standard Google Play
integration so there needs to be an app providing a way to access them.</p>
