Chapter 10. Maps and GPS

Although unthinkable only a few years ago, it's unlikely that you don't have a device on you that knows how to locate itself, either by inferring the location from the WiFi signal or from the GPS network. The accuracy of the calculated location depends on the method used, but GPS signals permit a high degree of accuracy. Given that this used to be the mainstay of expensive GPS gadgets not so long ago, it's amazing how quickly this feature has become ubiquitous and expected. Because of this, users expect their apps to be location-aware.
