+
+ <p>The compatibility layer has a configuration menu available at Settings ➔
+ Apps ➔ Sandboxed Google Play. It provides links to this usage guide, Play
+ services system settings, Google Location Accuracy setting, Play Store system
+ settings and Google settings. The Play services and Play Store system settings
+ are only included for convenience since they can be accessed the same way as
+ any other app via Settings ➔ Apps. The Google Location Accuracy and Google
+ settings activities would normally be integrated into the OS but we don't
+ include any of the standard Google Play integration so there needs to be an
+ app providing a way to access them.</p>
+
+ <p>The Google Location Accuracy toggle is an internal Google Play toggle for
+ whether it will use their network-based location service. By default, it will
+ only use the GNSS-based location provided by the OS. Some apps using the Play
+ services geolocation service will only work if network-based geolocation is
+ enabled if they lack a fallback to requesting the higher power usage
+ GNSS-based geolocation when it's disabled.</p>
+
+ <p>In the future, the Sandboxed Google Play app will provide a toggle for
+ geolocation redirection. By default, apps using the Play services geolocation
+ service will be redirected to an implementation based on the OS geolocation
+ service without all the advanced features. This will enable apps using it to
+ work out-of-the-box without needing to grant the Location permission to Play
+ services. This has been largely developed but still needs substantial work
+ before we can include it in the OS.</p>
