The underlying implementation can be different for different hardware providers. As a developer, you should be transparent to the underlying implementation, and write apps using the APIs which specifies whether you want enableHighAccuracy or not. eg: if you are writing a navigation app, which needs accuracy upto a few meters, then enableHighAccuracy=TRUE. If you are writing a weather app which just needs w coarse location, then your app can consume less power by enableHighAccuracy=FALSE. | The underlying implementation can be different for different hardware providers.
