QuestionQ28

Mobile Devices

A user is having trouble with the location services on their smartphone. Location-based applications show incorrect positions when the user is traveling. This issue affects the user's ability to navigate and use location-dependent applications. Which of the following is the best way to resolve this issue?

Explanation

Enabling Wi-Fi to assist GPS (often labeled 'High Accuracy Mode' or 'Improve Location Accuracy') allows the smartphone to triangulate position using nearby Wi-Fi networks and cellular towers in addition to GPS satellites, significantly improving accuracy. Downloading new mapping software, resetting network settings, or restarting alone do not address the underlying sensor accuracy issue.
