In System Settings, “Location” should be part of “Security & Privacy”, though the “GPS” switch should also be part of the quick access area.
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. |

The location indicator should appear in the status bar whenever an app has accessed your location in the past five minutes.
