Title:
Welcome wizard claims GPS is less accurate than wifi
If you think we should have "only wi-fi + cellular" as an option, please
report it as a separate bug with use cases. It doesn't affect the
resolution of this bug report, and I mentioned it here only because
Ondrej repeatedly gave the impression of being confused about what the
current options do.
Not sure if that is best way to tackle this problem.
Using inspiration from another OS, I think best strategy is to use
indicator which makes distinction between different modes location service
is running in.
like this user can easily see when phone actually uses accurate location,
and then check
I believe "only wifi + cellular" is needed for user. Since that many
apps are not designed for "preserve battery" but for best performance,
which these apps will try to access to most accurate location
information anytime, which consumed battery from gps sensors.
That option is needed to allow a
"From all location providers available, GPS is most accurate one,
unfortunately also most power hungry and slowest to gain lock. This is
reason we use all other providers to get faster, though less accurate,
coarse location using combination os visible wifi access point and
cellular cells."
As I
Option for only wifi + cellular is not really needed for user to chose from.
It is still used by the device, when application does not require precise
location, in order to preserve battery, but this is not to be controlled by
user. In my option no need to have any option like this here.
Still
I disagree with statement that GPS (less accurate)
this is simply not true.
It gives impression that GPS is less accurate, and when selecting second
option (with wifi) user will get better accuracy. But this is not true.
From all location providers available, GPS is most accurate one,
+1 on Ondrej's comment.
The wizard UI imply that GPS is less accurate, which is simply
misleading if the user has no knowledge on GPS fix. Even the user know
about GPS fix, there is no other UI indicate the phone has locked the
GPS.
To make sure setting more friendly, my suggestion is
O High
Ondrej, if you're going to strongly disagree, please at least explain
why. Mislabelling it as Wifi based location gives the impression that
you still think it is not supposed to use GPS. Why do you think that?

So is this it? Are we sticking to the version that Wifi based location is more
accurate than GPS.
I strongly disagree to mark this as invalid.

It might be that some of the confusion here is caused by bug 1462664,
where the GPS sometimes stops working when wi-fi is turned on. The net
result of that would be that GPS + Wi-Fi + cell tower data effectively
became just Wi-Fi + cell tower data, and therefore was less accurate.
But that's just
(Pat, thanks for the screenshot of the first-run setup.)
The Location screen in the first-run setup presents exactly the same
choice, in the same amount of screen space, as the Location screen in
System Settings. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Location On Windows and Mac,

Maybe simply replacing (less accurate) with (slower) would still
convey that we don't recommend that option while being more correct
about why we don't.

GPS is most accurate positioning system we have on the phone. However it
comes with price, here are some of the bad features of GPS: drains
battery, does not work indoors, takes long to get initial location when
used first time (or long after last use)
Therefore number of supporting used to
I don't understand this bug report, because currently the first-run
setup does not mention GPS at all.

Even if it did mention GPS, though, it is obviously true that GPS alone
is less accurate than GPS + Wi-Fi + cell tower data. This report is
This is what is in the current wizard in vivid
I do not think it is correct that GPS alone is ever less accurate than
the when the agps is provided, the difference is the time it takes to
get a first position when wifi and cell info is utilized.
