If you select GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks, your phone can find your exact position using the GPS satellites, the mobile network and nearby Wi-Fi networks. Satellite-based GPS requires a clear view of the sky.
If you select Wi-Fi and mobile networks, your phone can find your approximate position using the mobile network and nearby Wi-Fi networks.
If you select GPS only, your phone can find your exact position but it may take longer as there is no access to supplementary information from the mobile network or nearby Wi-Fi networks.
