The text of the caption for the “Location detection” switch should depend on which location providers have been implemented, and for the non-GPS providers, whether they are currently powered on.

If just GPS is implemented: “Uses GPS to detect your rough location. When off, GPS turns off to save battery.”

If GPS and wi-fi is implemented:

Wi-fi is on	Wi-fi is off
Uses wi-fi and GPS to detect your rough location. Turning off location detection saves battery.	Uses wi-fi (currently off) and GPS to detect your rough location. Turning off location detection saves battery.

If GPS, wi-fi, and cell tower triangulation is implemented:

	Wi-fi is on	Wi-fi is off
Cellular connection is on	Uses wi-fi, cell tower locations, and GPS to detect your rough location. Turning off location detection saves battery.	Uses wi-fi (currently off), cell tower locations, and GPS to detect your rough location. Turning off location detection saves battery.
Cellular connection is off	Uses wi-fi, cell tower locations (no current cellular connection), and GPS to detect your rough location. Turning off location detection saves battery.	Uses wi-fi (currently off), cell tower locations (no current cellular connection), and GPS to detect your rough location. Turning off location detection saves battery.

The “Allow access to location:” list should be present whenever “Location detection” is on. It should include only those applications that have ever requested access to location data.
