GPS and Location Services
A large number of apps use global positioning data as part of their basic functionality. Maps depend
on it as well also search engines, voice assistants, cameras, weather, etc.
GPS can no longer just be turned on or off. Modern operating systems like Android increasingly reg-
ulate access via location and privacy settings, as well as by individual app.

Location Service by App
The way GPS and location services are used may
be different from app to app. Before installation,
most apps will request permission to use certain
services. This may include use of Google location
services, Wi-Fi, GPS, the XT200’s own IZat
functionality and more.
In the example to the right, the
GPS Test
app
downloaded from the Google Play Store was
given full location access.
