<p>GrapheneOS provides the ability to use network location as an opt-in
|
||||
feature.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Enabling the network location feature will make getting a location lock
|
||||
indoors and in cities with tall buildings much faster, or possible when it would
|
||||
have previously been impossible. Additionally, network location improves app
|
||||
compatibility for apps that expect a fast location lock from the network
|
||||
location provider which they won't get when it's off and GNSS is being used
|
||||
instead.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The feature works by sending nearby Wi-Fi network identifiers to the service,
|
||||
which returns positioning data for those networks and other nearby ones to store
|
||||
in a temporary in-memory cache. Your location is estimated using a robust
|
||||
on-device multilateration algorithm.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the future, GrapheneOS plans to provide an option for offline network
|
||||
location using downloaded data instead of having to send data to a service.</p>
|
||||
|
||||

||||
<a href="/usage#network-location">usage section</a>.</p>
