Location & security settings
Use the Location & Security settings to set your preferences for using and sharing
your location when your search for information and use location-aware applications,
such as Maps. You can also configure settings that help secure your phone 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, 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.
