Remarks

The Windows Location Provider accuracy depends on the location data available. If Wifi is available, data is accurate to within a few hundred meters. If Wifi is not available, the data could be accurate to within 10 miles or larger.

A GPS device can provide data accurate to within a few meters. However, its accuracy can vary if the GPS sensor is obscured by buildings, trees, or cloud cover. GPS data may not be available at all within a building.
