Question about the "Location"

[t0ny94]

I've been android used for couple of years,but I switched to wp yesterday.
I have a question about "location services" ,which some of you might consider stupid,but still I will ask.
What is "location" in the settings menu.Is it the GPS function on android devices(needed for navigation,maps etc),or it just shares information about my location,so the developers can personalize the apps more for the different countries ?

AFAIK, it's the master switch of your location service; if you turn it off, any app won't be able to use location

 

[bijak_riyandi]

and yes, Location = GPS
