Google Fused Location Service

Hi! Which are the main differences on having this setting on or off? Its named differently than in Organic Maps, whats the difference there?

PD: Just wanted to say thanks! I admire this project's commitment to FOSS, privacy, transparency, and community principles!

The fused location provider manages the underlying location technologies, such as GPS and Wi-Fi, and provides a simple API that you can use to specify the required quality of service. For example, you can request the most accurate data available, or the best accuracy possible with no additional power consumption.

- Yeah but i dont have google fused location services available on my device, so what is the app actually doing in that case? And why is it different from organic?

  then the location is probably only retrieved via GPS, regardless of whether the setting is active or not.
