I’m developing a website for my android anti theft application, and I added google maps for searching coordinates and routes. Here’s my problem, i want to search the mobile phone without using GPS to get the coordinates, and show it on google maps to have an interaction within my website to my mobile phone.
Use this to check is the GPS on:
If it is off, use network based location service.
It uses cell info (and on some phones uses wifi to get more precise info from a huge db where cellids and wifi ssids and coordinates are associated)
Maybe on rooted phones you can automatically turn on gps.
