The accuracy of the information retrieved depends on the source used to determine the location which are:</p> <ul> <li>Wi-Fi triangulation</li> <li>IP address resolution</li> <li>Cell phone tower triangulation</li> <li>Global Position System (GPS)</li> </ul> <p>Windows automatically uses the best source, so when accessing the Windows Location provider you don’t need to tell it which source to use.</p>
