  • really baby

  • Lol.. this is why men make more

  • OMG, I just lost any hope on women ever grasping technology

  • that was basically the gayest thing on earth

  • without a "gps unit" people like tom tom... not pone location with out gps.a phone needs gps to find out where it is or wifi to make a general location

  • shouldn't a taxi driver have a GPS??

  • It works via wi-fi signal strength and the location of the wi-fi routers. It is NOT a trick, you idiot.

  • you stupid hahahaha

  • And no it doesn't use Internet to satellite that's stupid. The GPS satellites aren't even communicated with without a GPS UNIT OR MODULE in the device. Your cell phone is constantly search for the closest tower. Bouncing. Triangulating... When connected to wifi it's different but yeah... No gps chip NO GPS SATTELITES = inaccurate readings
