Zeph Davies commented on CB-9474:
---------------------------------

+1 to this wish.
Does the fused location controller provide the option to not use GPS, though?

> On Android, WebView/Chrome uses [LocationManager|https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html] to provide location updates (see [Chromium LocationProviderFactory.java|https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/master/content/public/android/java/src/org/chromium/content/browser/LocationProviderFactory.java]).
> This is less reliable and uses more battery than the [FusedLocationProviderApi|https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/FusedLocationProviderApi].
> It would be good to make use of FusedLocationProviderApi when available (that is when Google Play Services are installed).
