It’s possible to get the source of the location data (for example GPS receiver, WI-FI or cellular radio) in windows phone 7 ?
If so, how do I do it?
Thank you.

This isn’t available to the developer as it is done at Windows Phone OS level
GeoCoordinateWatcher
However specifying the property “DesiredAccuracy” to high will use the GPS receiver – But will use more battery power!
setting it at “Default” will use WiFi or Cell Phone towers to give a much less accurate fix on your location but will be better on battery
