Location & security settings

determine your location (this affects accuracy) and how you want to share your
location with Google and others. You can also configure settings that help secure
your tablet and its data.

Use wireless networks

Check to use information from Wi-Fi and mobile

networks to determine your approximate location, for use in Maps and other
geographically aware applications, when you search, and so on. When you check
this option, you’re asked whether you consent to sharing your location anonymously
with Google’s location service, to help improve the service.

Use GPS satellites

Check to use your tablet’s global positioning system (GPS)

satellite receiver to pinpoint your location to within an accuracy as close as several
meters (“street level”). Actual GPS accuracy depends on a clear view of the sky
and other factors.

Use location for Google Search

information about yourself (such as your contact information) on the lock screen
and where you can enter the text you want to display.

numeric PIN or password to decrypt your tablet each time you power it on. For
