  <title>Control location services</title>

  <p>Geolocation, or location services, uses cell tower positioning, GPS, and
  nearby Wi-Fi access points to determine your current location for use in
  setting your timezone and by applications such as <app>Maps</app>. When
  enabled, it is possible for your location to be shared over the network with
  a great deal of precision.</p>
