Apps can take advantage of the signals provided by multiple sensors in the device to determine device location. However, choosing the right combination of signals for a specific task in different conditions is not simple. Finding a solution that is also battery-efficient is even more complicated.
The fused location provider is a location API in Google Play services that intelligently combines different signals to provide the location information that your app needs.
The fused location provider manages the underlying location technologies, such as GPS and Wi-Fi, and provides a simple API that you can use to specify the required quality of service. For example, you can request the most accurate data available, or the best accuracy possible with no additional power consumption.
