Android does not do WPS (Wi-Fi Positioning System) location by default. iPhone has integrated the Skyhook technology into their OS, but Android devs have to go license it on their own from my understanding.

Android is supposed to do this kind of multi-mode location for you automatically. If the built-in locator is not as good as the commercial one, can the built-in one be improved using some of the same techniques?

Good to see people actually talking about this, because it’s a great addition to a lot of apps.

There are plenty more apps using this though (AndNav, Milage registration, twitli, sms commander).
