GrapheneOS provides the ability to use network location as an opt-in + feature.
+ +Enabling the network location feature will make getting a location lock + indoors and in cities with tall buildings much faster, or possible when it would + have previously been impossible. Additionally, network location improves app + compatibility for apps that expect a fast location lock from the network + location provider which they won't get when it's off and GNSS is being used + instead.
+ +The feature works by sending nearby Wi-Fi network identifiers to the service, + which returns positioning data for those networks and other nearby ones to store + in a temporary in-memory cache. Your location is estimated using a robust + on-device multilateration algorithm.
+ +In the future, GrapheneOS plans to provide an option for offline network + location using downloaded data instead of having to send data to a service.
+ +For details on how to use the network location feature, see the + usage section.
